Show column if other column is true

quarkpott · 03-16-2022, 12:51 PM

I haven't found anything about this unfortunately, but is it possible that a column is only displayed when another is true?
For example, when I set a book to read, a column appears where I can enter the date. But otherwise the column with the date is not displayed.
Is this possible?

No, you can't selectively show columns based on other ones. I wouldn't mind having it myself (e.g. hiding fanfic-related columns on non-fanfics) but I imagine it would be too much for the devs.

The view manager plugin will let you switch between different columnsets in the book list, if you prefer to edit from there.

Ok, thanks.

How would this make any sense? How do you 'not show' columns on *some* rows of a spreadsheet?

If you just want an empty cell use an icon-with-no-text rule that checks the trigger data.

I suspect the OP was referring to the MDE, so I was responding based on that assumption.
