How to limit flexible content to 1 of each layout?

  • If I have 5 different layouts within one Flexible Content – and I would like to let the user chose to use 1,2,3,4 or 5 of them, but never have more than 1 of any particular layout type in use, how would I do that?

    With repeaters – if the use case required there to be 1 and only 1 I can use the max / min rows to set that up. Wondering how I would do the same with flexible content?

    Flexible content seems like it will be worlds better for the use case which is porting over a stupid big spreadsheet. It may not need every excel row (layout), but should not have more than one of any layout type on display.

    Related question: If 5 layouts all have the same set of columns, is there a method to be able to define it once, but with separate titles? Hoping to avoid the situation where a future change to the structure requires me to replicate that action 5 times.

  • Yes there is a way to limit the max number of each layout. When editing the layout, below the layout label and name are 3 additional fields including “Min” and “Max” these are for setting the minimum and maximum number of this layout that can be inserted.
