Layout Container Width Height etc. by expression

TomerSt — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 14:45:42 GMT

Request:
I would like to request the ability to dynamically control the Width & Height & X & Y of a Layout Container based on expressions.

Description:
In my app, I have two tables placed one above the other inside a Layout Container. When the user selects a single row in the first table, the second table (a detail table) becomes visible while the first table remains at the top as a header.
Currently, the Layout Container has a fixed size, so I am forced to allow only a single selection.

I would like the option to allow multiple selections, and have the height of the first table adjust automatically based on the number of selected values. Accordingly, the second table’s size and position should also update dynamically.

Benefit:
This would enable more flexible and responsive layouts, especially when using master objects or containers with multiple views.

Hi @TomerSt

If I'm not wrong, to request new features, you can post them in the Ideation page in order it can be analyzed and approved by the proper Qlik team:

Ideation | Qlik Community

Visitor dashboard | Feedback

As workaround, maybe what you suggest can be done using the Show Conditions. For example, you set the second table in X position with the show condition to be displayed only when 1 selection is applied in first one. Then, you set the same table in the position X+1 with the condition to be displayed when 2 fields are selected in the first table... and so on with all the ones you need. In this way, the same table will appear but in different positions depending on the selections made in the first one.

I know it is not ideal and your proposal would be more confortable. But, as commented, to propose the change it needs to go through the Ideation page, as far as I know.

Kind Regards

Daniel
