Describe the bug
Hello, right now grapesjs provides built in properties like margin, padding that allow user to change each property one by one (margin-top, margin-bottom, etc). It would be nice to have ability to change all these properties together. To have some lock button, for example, when it's enabled it will change all properties together, not one by one.

Thanks for reporting this, @ravisaxena.
The issue with Ability to change all margin, padding etc properties together appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.
What to try:
- Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
// your operation here
}, 0);
-
Check initialization order — make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them
-
Use the editor's event system — listen to completion events:
editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
// safe to interact with component here
});
Recommended next steps:
- Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
- Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) — this helps the team identify the root cause faster
- Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
