Can form widgets be (easily) renumbered in QTDesigner ?
-
After the form is initially designed , the widgets are added / deleted etc in the process, resulting in few numbering inconsistencies.
It would be nice if there was an easy way to at least renumber the widgets concurrently.

Designer does not offer any widget-name renumbering. You would have to do it yourself there, or edit the.uifile as a text file and do so there.I note that some of your container widgets have the "red no-entry" sign on them, indicating they have not been assigned any layout. They may not appear as desired/intended unless you assign them a layout.

Give the widgets meaningful names so that the code referencing them becomes far more easily maintained and you have no need to "renumber" the widgets.
Not really that helpful - it would defeat "cut and paste " concept.
As in this case each "tab" has common components... -

Create the internal components as a standalone widget with designer, then you can use the promote feature to tell designer to treat a single widget in each tab as it was your complex widget

Great idea, I'll give it a go.
BUT it assumes that I make sure the "template" is finished.
Unless the "template" can be later modified and changes passed onto the main form. -
@AnneRanch changes in the template will automatically fall through to the widgets using it
