Show some fields (for debugging purpose) only when in developpement environnement

[djeorges]

Hi all,

Usually, i need to unhide hidden form fields when i want to debug.

What is the best practice to have those hidden fields visible when i’m in my dev environnement ?

If you had a lot of fields, you could use find/replace to switch (at least, if most of them were of the same type).

You could reference the $_ENV available in server connect, and then use a ternary expression within a dmx-bind to set the visibility, show/hide for paragraphs or text/hidden for a input type etc
