At the moment, using type='group' is a great way to divide various editable regions. However, there is a built-in Couch feature that only allows a single group to be 'open' at any given time, automatically closing other groups.

I understand the desire to reduce on-screen clutter, but I'm actually finding that feature a bit of a pain when trying to jump between groups, or when referencing the contents of one group while working in another.

Maybe there could be a way to override this behaviour? Something like this:

Code: Select all

<cms:editable 
    name='uploads_group'
    label='Uploads'
    type='group' />
    state='open' />

You could have

Code: Select all

state='open'

for an 'alway-open' group and

Code: Select all

state='auto'

for the original behaviour.

I agree. This would be more useful behaviour.
I have added this to the TODO list for the next versions.

Thanks for the input.
