Provide a checkbox for instant preview values

Created on 31 January 2025, 3 months ago

Hello,

If many values here are long texts, it will make the page very long and not conducive to management. Can we cancel them by default and provide a checkbox for instant preview?

    So each of those 'cells' in the table is just Manage Display of the particular Site Setting Entity Type. That would need either some sort of custom Row in the View to conditionally load the row value, or some sort of custom Field Formatter for the specific field type. Another option is to disable the display of the value on the View itself (Manage Display for the specific Site Setting Entity Type) forcing user's to click into the Row to see the values.

    In theory would be open to considering this as an 'opt in' functionality (ie, not enabled by default) if you could have a merge request with functional JS test coverage to ensure it works but I suspect its going to be quite big as I am not sure how easy it would be to make a one size fits all extension to Views to make any type of field lazy load in its value. You could try things like https://www.drupal.org/project/views_field_view perhaps...

    If its too big or adds external dependencies, it'd need to either be a sub-module or its own separate module extending this.

    So probably some exploring to do if you want to consider contributing this. Its too big for me to consider taking on in my free time myself unfortunately, sorry.
