Thank you @Jean-Marc

2 Things I learned today:

1- the. content button has so much potential. didn’t knew that before although I used the bundle creator a few years ago but I think I totally overlooked that.
2- We both are 178cm, likely somebody accidentally clicked yes after finishing a floor sketch. Both of us got constrained to the same height.

If I attended BILT, I won’t be wasting time creating the script below, instead I’d just put my component in a .content button:
