Love the new tabs feature! The problem I am noticing is that if I have an e.g. two column container with one chart in each, and want to move to a “tab-style” layout, I need to now have the charts one after the other vertically, which isn’t ideal for laptop users. ---

I want to be able to use a container inside a tab so that when I do a web embed I can make the background a “card.” Currently I have to make the whole tab container a “card” and that doesn’t work well for my UI/UX. ---

Use a Tabs component instead of a Tabs Container component. Then you can configure components or individual container components however you want, and set visibility based on the chosen tab. ---

Thanks! Didn’t even realize there was a tabs component 😅 . How do you configure it using the database then? I can’t input my components/containers into the Glide table? Appreciate your help. ---

Use it just like you would use a choice component. Have it write the selected tab value to a user specific column in the table. Then set visibility conditions on your components or containers to hide or show based on that user specific column value. ---

I still think there is value/a requirement for being able to nest containers inside Tab Containers. Main reason being restricting Submit whilst also having a nice UX for ‘large’ screens. A nice UX = being able to format the nested container’s background (ideally) + use of config of columns as per a standard container. Other more minor reasons are visibility control is obvs more easier with a Tabs Container than a Tabs component. Anyone else have a similar opinion?
