Use expression to set view's position?

[Lucinda_Mason]

I want to change where a view is located based on a value in my user’s table.

For example. Some users want a very simplified menu with four choices. Normal users have a launcher, top level menu, where each item opens another menu screen.

In the case of the simplified menu, I want those users to access the Edit own User Data view from the hamburger menu. Normal users access this via a second level menu.

Can I use an expression to set the position value? I don’t think I can but wanted to check to see if someone knew of a workaorund besides duplicating the view and have one as a ref and one as a menu item in the hamburger menu and use the show if on that view to hide/show depending on the user. Certainly seems like a lost of effort and potential to get the two views out of sync.

Nope.

As Steve said, there’s no way to do this. The best you could do is exactly what you were thinking… Duplicate the view and conditionally hide them.

I have this but add one mobile and desktop versions of each view that switch between menu and primary depending on device as well
and I can attest to it being alot of effort
