What is the proposed idea/solution?

Our interfaces are growing ever more complex, longer and more difficult to handle.

Two things that would make life much easier:

Being able to create sections (visual containers) that can be collappsed and unfolded.

Conditional visibility of these sections and individual fields (like in forms)

How does is solve the user problems?

This would help us to only show the fields and sections needed for specific cases or situations based on conditions that we can define, similar to conditional fields in forms.

I couldn't agree more. The features suggested in this request would make it possible to build more complex interfaces without complicating the UI for people interacting with the interface.

Completely agree. The more features that are being rolled out for interfaces every month this feels like a natural necessary progression which I hope is on their roadmap and a surprise feature asap😢🤞

Need this!  I have different fields I want visible based on a condition.  If I could just show a different grid in each case that could solve my problem.

Yes for the conditional visibility feature! Currently, we use a couple of interfaces to present different UI versions, but there are some limitations, e.g. people that have access to other "versions" of the "core" interface are not being notified if you leave a comment from this "core" interface.

Anyone here figure out a workaround while Airtable figures out that they should do this?

This makes sense, especially buttons that can trigger actions if data matches some filter (e.g. send an email if information is set)

Any word from Airtable about actually implementing this? It would make app creation and interface design much better!

@smash The conditional visibility for section has already implemented into the new pages (you must start a new interface page)
