Hi there,

Is it possible to have ‘conditional layout’ ?

As in, for example, showing or hiding a whole column conditionally with when.

I was coding a blog-post-like blueprint with a radio that allows the user to select the type of post. Some posts allow for file upload, some don’t.

Also in general, organizing fields by layout is very convenient and the needs may change from post type to post type.

thank you

That’s a nice idea and we will certainly have more options in the future. But currently, no, conditions only work on the field level.

Since each field can have i’s own width, you have some freedom of layout, but not with managing columns etc.
