I want to create a button to allow users to quickly toggle the layout of a smart container from ‘assignee’ to ‘status’.

 

How do I do this?

Hi ​@S2319, thank you for posting in the community! To confirm, are you referring to the dropdown menu options from the “Group by” menu in the “Layout” tab of the data panel for Smart Containers

If not, could you please share a brief description and any relevant screenshots (feel free to censor any important information) so that we can take a closer look? Thanks!

Hey, yes! 

 

I wanted to use a button to allow the change in layout so those less familiar with Lucid can quickly alter views

Hi ​@S2319, thank you for clarifying this! While it is possible to create a button to toggle layers using a combination of layers and actions, there isn’t currently a way to toggle Smart Containers in Lucid this way.
