LeBlender Editor top-level property on whole set of items

[lcichanowicz]

I suspect this is a feature request, but I hope I am wrong. How can I add a property to a Grid Editor, which uses the LeBlender Editor, that is not on each item, but applies to the whole set of items?

Ideally, I want to add a Dropdown property editor, with prevalues, to the set of items.

Each LeBlender Editor item will have two properties:

1. Item Label (Textstring)
2. Item Body Text (Richtext editor)

I want a property "above" the items, on the whole set.
Item Layout (Dropdown)
...with choices for Tab, Accordion, and Slider.

This will allow the content manager to try a layout, and change it to another.

Hi, you could just implement it on all, an let the editor pick the layout for the first item?
Another method could be to add the items as nested content or stacked content, then you'd only have a single item in your LeBlenderModel-collection.

Thanks for the suggestions, @soreng. I want to avoid an obvious workaround (obvious to the content manager) such as having the dropdown on all items, but only honoring the value set on the first.

I briefly considered nested content, but I wrongly assumed I would be giving up the LeBlender editor. I just discovered that it is a property editor available to me for a new data type! I should have checked.

I was just thinking of implementing a custom grid editor in LeBlender.

The docs seem scant, but I'll try.
