    I need to create 40 different TV for a template.
    I wanted to know if I could use MIGX to group them into a single TV.

    Example:
    Instead of creating many in modx TV: Title, Subtitle, Color1, Color2, Colore4 ... .., size, margin, etc.
    I create a TV migx SETTINGS one that contains all of these settings.

    Attention, it is not a multi record.

    Thank you.

      This is possible.
      Use input-options like that for the MIGX-TV to prefill the grid:

      [{"MIGX_id":"1","name":"title"},{"MIGX_id":"2","name":"subtitle"},{"MIGX_id":"3","name":"color1"}]


      name your fields for example name and value and have both fields in your formtabs!
      the name-field could be of inputTVtype:hidden, so it can't be changed, but it needs to be in the formtabs.

      Then you can output it at the frontend like that:

      [[getImageList? &tvname=`pagesettings` &toSeparatePlaceholders=`pagesetting` &tpl=`@CODE:[[+value]]` &placeholdersKeyField=`name`]]

[[+pagesetting.title]]
[[+pagesetting.subtitle]]
[[+pagesetting.color1]]

        Thanks for the answer, but if I understand it in this way I can not specify a different tvType for each option. Right?

        ps: Migx is a fantastic invention, it would take a bit of documentation :-P

          you could create multiple value fields in the formtab, each with another intputTVtype

          and show only one of them and hide the others, depending of the name-value, with restrictive condition, for example:

          "restrictive_condition":"[[+name:is=`color`:then=``:else=`1`]]",


          this would show this field, when the value of name is 'color'

            MIGX is amazing.
            I could define it essential for modx.

            Where can I find more documentation?

            Thanks for the help Bruno17.
