Overrides the end releases for a frame element.

Note that because Fenix is reference-based, overriding the end-releases via this component overrides the end releases for the frame element anywhere it is used. The output of this component is not a new design frame element, but is instead a reference to the input design frame element.

Name Available Options Description
End End I; End J; Both Determines which end to assign releases at. Note that switching between ends does not reset the release to its original release (due to Fenix being reference-based). If you need to reset to the original releases, you must re-compute the Create Design Frame Element component that originally constructed the frame element.
