Block properties table only allows one parameter

I successfully created a dynamic block that changes the number of shelves based on height using visibility states. It has the following parameters:

1. Height parameter stretches according to a list
2. Visibility states automatically change qty and spacing of shelves based on height parameter via double lookup

3. Width parameter stretches cabinet incrementally


I wanted to add the following:

3. Visibility to change the SKU label & door swing to reflect the correct SKU based on door swing

 

However, my understanding is that I cannot have more than one visibility. When I tried creating a block properties table, it only allows me to add one parameter. I don't want the user to have to navigate through menus so it doesn't seem like the right choice anyway. 

I want the user to use the 2 stretch grips and flip grip as needed. The shelves and SKU then update accordingly. (The SKU updates automatically based on length and door swing.)

What am I doing wrong, or how can I accomplish the features I want?

Your block is well designed (except the stretch actions), but you must not test your block with "Test Block" in the block editor. (This is one of the reasons why I hate such "block files"  😉 )

Create a new or open another file, insert the block and you will see, the labels shows the correct values (of course after a REGEN).

 

Additional I did some small corrections to the selection sets of the stretch actions and added the visibility of the flip parameter to all variants. You can add other small refinements if you wish.

Attached an improved version. 

 

"I want the user to use the 2 stretch grips and flip grip as needed." 

If so, then you can disable the visibility of the Visibility Parameter in all visibility states.
