Confirmed: Set in "Articles: Options" > Tab "Editing Layout" "Show Article Options" to "Hide" and in Article Tab "Field" is also hidden.

I can confirm this but I dont see where the code is for the fields to be injected - @laoneo can you point me in the right direction and I can have a go at fixing it

Should be layout joomla.edit.params - condition if ($displayData->get('show_options', 1)).
Value show_options is set in edit view of article.

There are two possible solutions IMO:

• fieldset name options should be rendered separately, influenced by condition above, and all othe fieldsets in foreach cycle should not be influenced by the condition.
• Or do not set show_options value but ignore_fieldsets in article edit view

@n3t has right. I think it doesn't sound like a easy one line fix. Needs some toughts. Basically it needs a different way of loading.

I think just adding the respective fieldsets to the ignore_fieldsets if "show_options" is set would actually be the correct way.
But the way it is currently done (the parameter is checked in the JLayout) I fear this isn't really possible to do in a B/C way. The intention of this parameter is to actually hide all options rendered by that JLayout, which includes fields.

The intention of this parameter is to actually hide all options rendered by that JLayout, which includes fields.

But is this than not expected behavior? As the same is true for 3rd party extensions that adds tabs. If you disable that option they are not showed.

@zero-24 the expected behaviour is that the tab called "Article Options" is controlled by that option and no other tab

I can confirm the problem on Joomla! 3.7.2-Dev (nightly Build)

Struggled again about this Issue.

Can you guys please test #16661 carefully if there are no side effects. Because when this one gets in, only the fieldsets with the name basic are not loaded anymore.

Closed as we have a pr for testing
