Hi, I created a plugin with several panels and some panels can use features from others. E.g. I have a dedicated panel for adding a Logo and a panel for exporting images. I want to add a button to the exporting image panel so that when a user presses this button, it will open the Logo panel. Ca…

Can the logo panel be used as a standalone panel? I mean, can it be useful without the export panel? If not, I’d refactor it to be as a dialog.

Did you debug? What do you get if you remove [0][prop]? I don’t see anything wrong in your sample, but it’s always good to start debugging if something works not as expected
