Scrollbars as options from the properties panel

Just added what feels like my 40th scrollbar in the last four hours, and realized something: shouldn't these be available as options from the properties panel? Right now, adding a scrollbar to a component means dropping it onto the canvas, dragging it into position, stretching it to fit, and then remembering to group it with the parent component so they reposition as a pair.

That's a lot of busywork for adding a simple, often needed component feature. It'd be far better to have a "Scrollbars" pulldown on the properties panel, with the choices None (default), Vertical, Horizontal, Both. The property would be available for the container components that logically benefit: Accordion, Browser Window, Canvas, Data Grid, Dialog, List, Tab Navigator, Text Area, Tree Pane, and Vertical Tabs.

The existing, stand-alone scrollbars would remain for flexibility, but for bread-and-butter work, it would be great to just toggle these as needed from the property panel.

Thanks much.
 
happy I’m hopeful.
