Is there a way to display text or any edit component side by side, while in a Tabs Container in a form page.

I like the tab container view as any required fields are required to be met even when the tab hasn’t been opened. When I use Tabs, the moment a user selects a new tab and hasn’t completed required components it allows the user to submit the form.

The image below uses Tabs with containers split in 1 2 or 3 columns. I am struggling to recreate it using Tab Container.

Tabs Container sounds like a no because you can’t add a container inside another container for now.

Bob to the rescue as always!!!

Hint  
class=prevent-submit  
Visibility Conditions = On

CSS  
#main-root:has(.prevent-submit) button[aria-label=“Submit”]{  
pointer-events : none !important;  
opacity : 0.35 !important;  
}

That CSS doesn’t solve your problem though? Isn’t it one to disable the Submit button?
