I have a button, when clicked changes a variable which makes a section visible. The section display (conditional display) is binded to that variable.

Hey @RCS ! So you’d like to animate the display property ah? You found a very rare “bug” that is actually a very rare feature / exception of the web, so consider yourself lucky haha! In some cases, such as this, the transition does not work. You can not transition in display, and also from something …

Static collections don’t get fetching state :frowning: or else i couldnt find it…

Isn’t there even is_fetched or something like that? Maybe you can listen to the array length of your collection, if it is 0 it means that there are no items fetched, otherwise you display the element. Could you screenshot me your collection in the editor? I’ve not used static collections yet))

I created a parameter and triggering it after a delay on page load which is giving me enough time to load the data, and showing loader while loading, hiding it and showing content after delay… worked fine… only if we can put transition to those appearing and disappearing objects, would be great…

There are some cheats to make this work, but I don’t think it is worth the struggles)
