    I created a rule for editor User Groupe which hides the Template Tab in the home page (id = 1) this worked great!
    Now however i want to hide all the TV's except one.. so i unchecked the "Visible Checkbox" of the other two Template Variables.

    This seemed to work at first.. but then i checked my other documents like About me (id = 2) and there the other two Template Variables where also hidden!?

    Can anybody tell me how to hide a Template Variables in one document only and not in all of them?

    Really appriciate your help

      For your 'resource/create' and 'resource/update' sets, change the constraint field to 'id' and add the id number of the resource you want to target as the 'constraint'.

        If this works for you, please let us know. I can't get it to work.

          On closer inspection I can only get this to work for the standard fields, not TV's. Do you think this is a bug or it was never intended for TV's?

            Think it must be a bug. I can move a TV to a custom tab and it works fine. However hiding a TV seems to ignore the constraint settings.

              Ahh so it is a bug afterall.. well i hope they fix this soon.

              But for the time being i will you use my workaround, that i created.. figured this one out during lunch laugh

              I just hide all the modx-panel-resource-tv from the parent "web" and with a second set of rules i move the desired tv's to the modx-resource-settings while also hiding the
              modx-panel-resource-tv. At the second rule set a document id is required as a constraint so modx knows for which document you would like these changes.

              This way all the TV's that i dont' want the editor to see in that document are hidden away and the others he can see laugh

              Well thanks a lot guys for your responses

              And i hope that you find some use in my workaround^^
