Using parameter values to activate toggle functions on elements

[100leiden]

Hi!
I was wondering what the status is of this request:

Feature request: exposing boolean controls to dynamic content

This may have been requested or suggested before, but I find myself often creating workarounds to this that could be solved by having dynamic content access to some boolean / switch controls in elements. For example, the effects_scroll toggle [image] It would be great to be able to input dynamic content into this option in the inspector [image] At the moment I work around these kinds of things with various hacks, but recently I encountered an issue where my hacks were not quite working in a…

Currently I’m working on a custom heading element based on the default cornerstone element to limit options for clients and set it up more as a single source solution. The heading needs a URL option, which currently leaves the Link checkbox always on in the source heading element. This means all our headings are inside an A tag, even when there is no link present on the element.

I read that it was on the list for the 6.7 release, so are there any updates on this? I would love to toggle functionalities on or off inside elements with parameters and use the default elements rather than building it up from scratch.

Thanks!

Edit:
The A tag generation can be fixed with whitespace checking using twig, but toggling seems like a cleaner solution:
{{- param.link ? param.link.linkType ~ param.link.link -}}

Hi!
We’re running version 6.7.12
Here you can see the toggle:

We support toggle controls on singular line items, but not on a group like in your screenshot. We have to discuss internally how that’s going to work as the UI is much different then a normal control line. Have a great day.
