Tags
Tags are arbitrary labels you assign to buttons in Edit Mode. They are used to show, hide, enable, or disable groups of buttons at runtime via Script buttons.
Adding a tag — type a name in the Tag name… field in the edit panel and press Enter or click Add. The tag appears as a chip. Click × on a chip to remove it.
Tags are shared across a selection — adding a tag when multiple buttons are selected applies it to all of them.
Reserved tags
| Tag | Effect |
|---|---|
_hidden |
Button is hidden (invisible) in select mode |
_disabled |
Button is grayed out and non-interactive in select mode |
Script API
Use these functions inside a Script button to control tagged buttons at runtime:
| Function | Effect |
|---|---|
mk_btn_show(["tag"]) |
Show buttons with that tag |
mk_btn_hide(["tag"]) |
Hide buttons with that tag |
mk_btn_enable(["tag"]) |
Enable buttons with that tag |
mk_btn_disable(["tag"]) |
Disable (gray out) buttons with that tag |
See Script Mode and Script API Reference for full details.
