Hi,
Is it not possible to target :before and :after elements with Pinegrow interactions? I have a list with check icons build in as li:before. I can’t animate them in PGIA…I tried “li:before” and “li::before” in the selector but it does not find the check icons. “li” works but it gives me the list-item, not the check icon.
Does anyone has an idea?

@Riccarcharias I don’t think that is possible because these are not regular DOM elements.

Thanks @matjaz for your answer! It’s a pity…then I have to build my list in a different structure…
