this is a cosmetic, but IMO also a great improvement for usability.

@brianteeman you only did it for the "Articles" tab right?

The other tabs should have showon to.

Yes I only did the Articles tab for now - if approved I will do the rest

ok then.

To be honest there arent as many opportunities to use showon with the other tabs ;)

I have tested this item successfully on 50c4bd7

Not that means much. But here goes my approval

To be honest there arent as many opportunities to use showon with the other tabs ;)

there are some, at least:

• versions in "Editing layout"
• dates in "List layout"
• pagination in "Shared"

yes and I will have to do the same showon stuff in the menu items

I would prefer to do it all in one PR so i just did this small one as a
proof of concept

in reality, IMO, almost all xml should have the showon (components, modules, plugins, etc)

yes I agree - just want to get concensus and approval before doing this
change everywhere - its a big change

This PR potentially will assist with new administrators where they can see options which are tied to a particular condition. But for everyone it gives a cleaner overview.

It's an idea that wouldn't be out of place if adopted by 3rd party extensions as well.

Works fine. Thanks
Don't forget to add the "0" to the "List All categories" menu item type to when you do that one.

I will do that later but just so you know the way menu items has a show
global option pretty much prevents the use of showon in a menu option -
unless I missed something

just tested showon on a menu item type (alias) just as a PoC and worked fine.
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/administrator/components/com_menus/models/forms/item_alias.xml

It works the problem is that because of showglobal you don't know if you
should be hiding something

i see, just hide if not show global?

I think its not worth it
