Mirrored component does not update in response to original component change.

[Anonymous]

I would assume that a mirrored component would update when the component that it derives from gets changed, but I do not observe that happening. Is this working as intended? If so, may I suggest that the intended behavior be changed??

From what I read in this post it looks like it won't update if the original is edited. But if you have capture history on, you could go back in time, edit the component before it was mirrored, then move the history bar back through the mirror process and the changes will be carried through.

@Anonymous the process of moving back the timeline marker to before the mirror feature etc. as described by @Anonymous  is indeed the correct process.

Thanks, @Anonymous !

(I eventually discovered that solution myself.)

It would be nice if the mirrored part maintained a mirror relationship with the original, but I guess you don't always want that.
