Is there a way to add a settings to the layout block? I’m trying to add a background and text color option to the rows.

Any pointers in the right direction are much appreciated since similar questions are asked quite a while ago and remained unanswered:)

If you mean the layout field, see [Layout | Kirby CMS](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/fields/layout#layout-settings)

Yes that’s exactly what I meant! I looked at the docs but must have overlooked it I’m sorry. Thank you Sonja 🙂
