Is there a way to modify a content by label macro in its "empty" state?

[Gen S]

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if there is a way to manipulate the content by label macro so it shows as an empty spot on a page instead of a panel indicating there are no label matches to display?

I haven't been able to find documentation whether this is possible.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Gen S 

Probably not natively, as when there's no content with the label - the default is to mention that.

Can you clarify the need here; why would you prefer an empty spot on the page?

Good morning @Ste Wright , thanks for the response!

The reason for the empty spot is due to user feedback I received. They prefer an empty spot instead of the default macro display.

I did have a suspicion that it could not be done natively as you said.

Hi @Gen S 

I think it would be complex to remove.

I've not seen an App that does this necessarily - Apps like Refined's UI enhancement apps might help resolve it, but no guarantees.

I think it would be better to suggest users accept it as base functionality; likely they'll accept it within a short space of time :). You could also look to hide it if needed - such as in an Expand Macro, or similar.

Thank you for all your help @Ste Wright ! I think that workaround is a viable option for my needs.

Have a great day :)
