Auto-Synchronize Text Areas on different pages Merged

For one of our dashboards, which is being used by a lot of people (50+), we have created an improved user interface using Text Areas (HTML/CSS/Javascript). If we want to update anything to the user interface (navigation or filter bar) we have to manually duplicate the Text Area and drag it to other pages.

Recently i have made an IronPython script that automatically does this for the navigation bar:

- Duplicate the navigation bar (Text Area) on the active page

- Move the duplicated Text Area to next page

- Remove the old Text Area

- Repeat until all pages are done

This method no longer works when locking the position/size of the Text Areas (in case of changing screen sizes).

This method also doesn't work for the filter bar. It requires the visualization you need to duplicate to be at the top of the screen and cover the full width.

Copy/pasting the HTML/CSS/Javascript doesn't work either because it requires you to re-create the <SpotfireControl> html-elements.

Idea:

Enable automated Synchronization of Text Areas across different pages

Possible solutions:

- Extend IronPython possibilities to enable this

- Create a "link" between text areas
