Adding Field Sets to Tab Panels

[RussCraig]

I can't seem to add a Field Set to a Tab Panel. No matter what I do, when I change tabs on the Tab Panel, the Field Set always remains visible, and interferes with the data on the other tabs.

What's interesting is that setting the "Parent Tab Panel" and "Parent Tab" values causes the Field Set to move with the Tab Panel if I move it, but the Field Set is always visible, no matter what tab I display.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Both the Field Set and the Tab Panel are special widgets. If you add any other widgets to either of these, the added widget becomes a "child" to the Field Set / Tab Panel. If you move the Field Set or Tab Panel, all other widgets that have been added will move with the parent. No other widgets have this functionality.

At the moment, this special feature is causing a conflict if you try to add a field set to a tab panel or vice versa. We will be working on resolving this in the future. It may be that we provide an additional Field Set that does not have these special properties.

I the meantime, you might try to use one of the panels instead of the field set. The glass panel looks like it is the closest match to a field set.

I worked on a similar requirement.
What worked for me was to first create a simple layout within a Tab Panel and then add the field set inside the layout. The Mailing Address and UPS Address are field sets.

Hope this works for you.

That's a great idea, akumar! And your screen looks very nice, too.
