Can we have an option for a field in a fly view

'Hide if Empty' (or set this as a component wide default setting which can be overridden at the field level)

and as an expansion, add to a fly brick

'Hide if all fields are empty'

Thanks

For now, fields in an exploded view you can test $field->value:
	<?php
	// kids
	$field = $fieldSet['jform_count'];
	if (($field->value > 0)) :
	?>
	<div class="control-group <?php echo 'field-' . $field->id . $field->responsive; ?>">
		<div class="control-label">
			<?php echo $field->label; ?>
		</div>

		<div class="controls">
			<?php echo $field->input; ?>
		</div>
	</div>
	<?php endif ?>
My only question is; how will you ever load them if they are initially hidden?

Sorry this was just a new functionality request, I know a few work arounds but its just boring coding them

Example of why this would help save me time

I have 'optional' fields in an item meta that do not need to be filled out, there are about 30 in total. Thats 30 times I need to wrap a field in an if statement.. whereas a nice tick in a box means its done and dusted and I dont need to FORK / alter

I must say that I'm leaps and bounds ahead of where I would have other been with J2.5 with full thanks to the folks on this forum and specifically to Cook so you'll never hear me complaining.
