retainContentAlignment Property

---

This property is used to retain the content alignment property value, as it was defined.

Note: Locale-level configurations take priority when invalid values are given to this property, or if it is not defined.

The mirroring widget layout properties should be defined as follows.

function getIsFlexPositionalShouldMirror(widgetRetainFlexPositionPropertiesValue) {
    return (isI18nLayoutConfigEnabled &&
    localeLayoutConfig[defaultLocale]
    ["mirrorFlexPositionalProperties"] == true &&
    !widgetRetainFlexPositionPropertiesValue);
}

The following table illustrates how widgets consider Local flag and Widget flag values.

Properties	Local Flag Value	Widget Flag Value	Action
Mirror/retain FlexPositionProperties	true	true	Use the designed layout from widget for all locales. Widget layout overrides everything else.
Mirror/retain FlexPositionProperties	true	false	Use Mirror FlexPositionProperties since locale-level Mirror is true.
Mirror/retain FlexPositionProperties	true	not specified	Use Mirror FlexPositionProperties since locale-level Mirror is true.
Mirror/retain FlexPositionProperties	false	true	Use the designed layout from widget for all locales. Widget layout overrides everything else.
Mirror/retain FlexPositionProperties	false	false	Use the Design/Model-specific default layout.
Mirror/retain FlexPositionProperties	false	not specified	Use the Design/Model-specific default layout.
Mirror/retain FlexPositionProperties	not specified	true	Use the designed layout from widget for all locales. Widget layout overrides everything else.
Mirror/retain FlexPositionProperties	not specified	false	Use the Design/Model-specific default layout.
