I have a widget base class and I would like to reuse (logic and wigdets as well) it.
I created an empty widget and set the parent class to the base class I would like to inherit from in the class settings.
Works fine. enter image description here But when I am trying to add any widget on top the pre-existing ones just disappear, they get overridden by the children, I guess. enter image description here

I found this post for a feature request, but it is quite old.

Just wondering if it is possible to add extra widgets without getting rid of the parent ones?

You need to use an overlay which will allow you to put multiple widgets onto one widget.

    \$\begingroup\$ As soon as I put an overlay on the child widget all inherited stuff goes... \$\endgroup\$
