Can I extend/re-use the UmbPropertyEditorUITagsElement using a JS custom editor?

Questions

This is a n00b question about the new backoffice UI as I haven’t had time to fully learn and digest the new format, apis, etc.. I want to keep things simple for now and have followed Filips post about creating a simple property editor It doesn’t have to be complicated to build a custom Umbraco property editor - DEV Community

But… I want to re-use/extend the tags editor: Umbraco-CMS/src/Umbraco.Web.UI.Client/src/packages/tags/property-editors/tags/property-editor-ui-tags.element.ts at e6c169e566ff9634d7bbc09e673f700a1292220d · umbraco/Umbraco-CMS

Is it possible to import the “UmbPropertyEditorUITagsElement” ? Doing this doesn’t work

import { UmbPropertyEditorUITagsElement } from "@umbraco-cms/backoffice/property-editor";

We are all n00bs when it comes to the new backoffice :slight_smile:

Unfortunately you cant import it, as it isn’t exported in the npm packages. So you have to copy/paste from the source, sorry.

That is what I was expecting too … and afraid of :cry:I didn’t want to go through the whole steps of configuring my environment with the proper back office UI build tools, etc… I just wanted to use the basic JS way since what I want is actually very simple.
