Hi, when we create a screen, for ex. a form, all columns are automatically made under a “text” component.  
We then have to delete some and create the relevant component (ex. Choice etc), then place it where it has to be in the screen.

It would be great to be able to modify a component by clicking on it and typing its name (no more “deletion” \> “creation” \> “moving”)
