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. ---

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. ---
