  • Hi Mike,

    You can do this. It is easier to show or display a section as a whole because you can wrap that into one if statement. If you wanted to show the heading this way, you'd need an if statement around each field . So effectively you would show the section but hide each field.
    There are a couple of better ways you could handle this.
    Firstly instead of showing nothing, when the boolean is false, you could show an empty section with just a heading (defined seperately), then show the full section for true().
    Secondly you could turn the show hide link, into a Rich Text field that looks like a column heading, and use a link inside the a!richTextItem, function, to determine if the section is shown.
