Hello.
Does Glide (either Pages or Apps) have a native way of expanding/collapsing a component (or container) or toggling its visibility without incurring updates?
E.g. in a form scenario
Nope, not that I am aware of.
But that will probably change. Glide have indicated that they will probably give us alternatives to User Specific Columns for these types of navigation/UX use cases. We just don’t know when.
Ya…it’s a shame. Plenty of ways to create a “toggle” but currently all involve eating into the update quota.
Something like that session variable column feature request?
yep!
Don’t know it for a fact, but there have been signs that this one (or something similar) might be coming soon-ish.
Do we know if this ever became a feature?
Don’t think so. As a workaround, you can add a boolean column to your Users table, add a switch pointing to it in the user profile, and show the container only if it’s set to true.
Check the Glide Ai library
You will find multiple things with the same thing ur asking for.
