Neo Permissions for Block Visibility

[deeekay]

What question would you like to ask?

Dear Neo-Team

In a current project, we are facing the challenge that we should allow some Neo Blocks to be selected if a pre-condition is met using a specific field. For example:
We have a Lightswitch field “allowWidget”
We have a NeoField with a NeoBlock “widget”
In a specific entry type, we use both fields and “widget” should only be allowed to use is “allowWidget” is set to true

Unfortunately, I haven’t found a way to access “allowWidget” from the Advanced Conditions in the NeoBlock itself. Do you have any input (or maybe alternative way to go for that) for me?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Daniel

This isn't currently possible, but would be good to have, and would likely be added at the same time as #775.

[deeekay]

That would be awesome to have. Do you currently see a workaround to handle such a requirement?

[ttempleton]

No workaround that I can think of, unfortunately.

Found an "under-the-hood" approach to tackle this here: https://github.com/spicywebau/craft-neo/blob/main/docs/events.md#example-1

Checking for e specific field on the element and filter the neo blocks accordingly (if the field is present). Hope this helps anyone else facing similar issues.
