A dropdown fieldtype that shows/hides other fields on the publish page.
This can be used to create a Tumblr-like experience. For example, you first add a list of “types” to the Entry Type field: Link, Video, Image, etc. Then you create custom field(s) for each of those types for that field group. Then you can associate certain fields in that group to types, and when you select a type in the dropdown, those associated fields will show, and the others will hide.

Thanks for the addon, using this to simulate Attribute Sets. However, it would be nice to port this to a custom field to save the selected entry type.

Works great. We were getting ready to build something similar when I found this. The only thing that would make it better is to apply the settings when you’re editing an existing entry.

Rob, this is great! I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this for some time now.
It looks like only one Entry Type field is supported right now, and it currently hides all other fields (not just those available in the dropdown). That said, it is still a great start to a much needed add-on!
