Admin Field group Divider.

Is there a method, or addon, where I can add a “divider” .. or an HR to separate sections in the channel fields page of the admin?

I have a channel, with many fields in it. I am using a switch to turn sections of content on or off, and each section as several fields. It is way too confusing for the marketing team to figure out. However, if I could insert an HR or something like that, it would help them to visually see the layout options.

Think of a simple landing page that has a Top Banner, Section One, and Section Two. Each one of those as two options.

Section One, Option 1 Section One Option 2

I am using a toggle to allow a user to choose either opt 1 or opt 2. They are basically different layouts.

Depending on the option, there are specific fields. Option one contains a field for H2, a grid (thumbnail, subtitle, copy), whereas option 2 has fields to embed a video, picture and some text.

At the end of the day, this page is very confusing for someone to fill out.

Ideas?

Thanks

I am having OK success by creating a custom layout on collapsing everything that is “option b” - I had to go back to each field and add “default” or “option” next to each name to help clarify things.

I wonder if I could develop a custom field type that just renders an HR or a thick border.
