    Hi @AP1979 ,

     

    It seems like you’re dealing with a layout issue where hidden fields are still taking up space, causing gaps. Let’s address this! Here are a few suggestions:

    1. Visibility vs. Display:

    2. Adjusting Container Width:

      • Check if the containers of hidden fields are still taking up space. If so, try setting their width to 0 and also consider adjusting the margins or padding to ensure they collapse completely when hidden.
