I can’t figure out how to have a child search bar element auto-resize itself to match the height of its parent Div element? Details in Loom. I also tried putting the child elements in a container inside the div, but couldn’t make that work either.

Thanks.

Based on what I read online, if the parent flex box is set to stretch, then the child elements should stretch to the height of the flex box. Weweb’s container does not seem to do work this way when set to stretch. Is this a bug?
