I’m trying to control the size of a flex component at various breakpoints. But I discovered there are no controls for overriding the width and height settings.

Is this a bug or intentional?

_UPDATE: turns out that this is also the case for the grid component._

The way to do responsive sizing is to choose the “Theme Spacing” option and then you can either:

1. Enter an arbitrary value by click the Theme toggle to the right of the input (as I have done in the screenshot below)
2. Add a custom value to the Spacing scale in the Theme Studio and select that value when using Theme Spacing

This method works the same across all components!

I just discovered this option that provides the override control. Will test using this approach. Thanks.
