    Description

      User story

      As a Magnolia backend configurator i want to group fields into multiple sections so that the editor gets a better overview when editing.

      Acceptance criteria (= current functionality, no changes required):

      • Collapsible composite field (ccf) can be used in any dialog.
      • CCF can be placed at any position in a dialog.
      • CCF groups a random amount of simple fields / subfields.
      • Each CCF has a name.
      • All CCFs are collapsible/expandable. Expanding displays and collapsing hides the content within.

      Further notes:

      The collapsible composite field is an extension to the common composite field. CCF was created when developing the Stories app. It was designed for the Stories app but it can also be used in any other editor. See documentation here https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS57/Collapsible+composite+field

      CollapsibleCompositeFieldDefinition extends the composite field to add a clickable header that toggles the visibility of the field's content. Editors can click the header to display and hide the subfields. 
      Like the composite field, the collapsible composite field defines a complex field that is composed of multiple simple fields. 

      In the new design the visual appearance & UI of this field type will be very similar to well-known accordions which enables grouping of long field lists into different sections.

      Typically we will use it for stories app

      The design is generic enough so it can also be used for any other content app, as an example in assets editor (this is just for demonstration and not intended to be changed in Assets app).
