'container end' variable

[Sree Gorantla]

Hi,

I observed while creating a variable of type "container end", 'Name' and 'Question' fields are not appearing on the form. But after i create one, i can see in the list view the Name is set (as formatter) and Question field value is empty and they are editable.

Any idea why Name and Question fields are not appearing on the form view while creating a container end variable ?

Hello Sree,

Container End is used to close your container layout. There are 3 different types of field layouts that could be setup within a Container Start and Container End variables. It is like a closing tag for your list layout on the catalog form and is not a question.

The container start, container split, and container end variables define a layout for a container that can hold more variables. Use the container start and container end variables to define the start and end points of a container layout. The container end must be used along with the container start to close a container.

Its not needed, that is why it gets hidden Container are just used to format the variables on the form.

Starting container is given a name and when the end is reached, it just ends the container started last, hence it doesnt need a name
