Thanks for this. As always your tutorials are super easy to follow and if it hadn't have been for this video I probably wouldn't have bothered with getting my legacy styles updated! Thanks again.
Too many changes in generateblocks. And above all changes that force us to change the way of working. I understand that it is to work better, but no one takes into account the time we need to continually learn. New web developers who don't understand a little CSS are going to have a harder time. :) Thanks Adam for summarizing and explaining this new way of working with generateblocks.
I agree with what you are saying. Right now my end-users are trained to use the legacy global styles system, which is fairly easy to understand because you just pick a style from a dropdown menu. This new system will be far more complicated for the end-user, so I think I'll need to rely even more on "Local Patterns," or what is the new way of using local patterns.
i understand the point you are making but i am going to respectfully disagree with what you are saying. In my humble opinion the new class system is the greatest system i have ever worked with. The GP & GB UI is designed in such a way you can survive with absolutely no css skills at all. The ability to change something once hand have all those changes reflect across the site in an instant is an absolute game changer. I know we had global styles previously but the new setup is a vast improvement.
I feel you, Jose! However, as developers and designers, we have to continue to evolve with the software. Otherwise, our very own expertise and processes will also become dated and obsolete. It's not easy to keep up, but it feels necessary if we want to continue to run a business that's relevant and will last. It's sort of the way of technology - it's always going to evolve.
Question. If the "Blue Button" from the legacy global style has been used throughout the website, then when the new "Blue Button" global style is created and saved, are all the buttons using the legacy "Blue Button" global style automatically updated to use the new global style? Since you mentioned the old global style can be deleted, I would assume that all the buttons automatically get updated to the new global styles system.
No, I don't believe that's how it works. You will have to apply the new global class to each button across your site. Sorry for not explaining that further!
nice.

So glad to hear that!

Is it possible to do this with Airtable Instead of using CPT? Have the form dropdown auto import based on column data in airtable?
That seems kinda wild, I have no idea!
