sharedVisible enhancement?

[Timothy Miller]

If bg field text can be different on each card containing the group, 
or shared by each instance of the bg field then...

Why couldn't the visible be handled in a similar way? With the 
(hypothetical) sharedvisible set to true, every instance of that bg 
field would be either visible or invisible. With the sharedvisible 
set to false, I could hide an instance of the bg field on one card, 
but the same field would still be visible on other cards.

I guess the same property could also apply to bg buttons.

I know there are other ways to make bg fields or buttons visible or 
not on a card-by-card basis. Several of my stacks do it. But that 
normally requires an on openCard handler, or something of the like, 
along with a container for data regarding the required visibility for 
the field on that card. At least that's the way I do it. It's 
do-able, but a small pain, and adds one more handler to already 
complex scripts. Maybe there's a better way.

Worthy suggestion? I haven't submitted an enhancement request to BZ 
yet. Maybe it's not worthy.


Cheers,
