Describe the Feature you'd like

Is it possible to somehow show/hide buttons depending on the current value one of the properties?
I am trying to make something like the workflow in Jira. So, depending on the status of the current tasks, i want the some buttons with the possible next statuses are shown.
Something like:

property status = Backlog -> the button "InProgress" is shown
property status = InProgress -> the buttons "Backlog" and "Done" are shown
and etc.

somekind of conditional show/hide for the button

Not without the use of some JavaScript.

E.g. you could create a code block with the language meta-bind-js-view.

{status} as status
---
if (context.bound.status === "Backlog") {
  return engine.markdown.create("button config 1 here");
} else if (context.bound.status === "InProgress") {
  return engine.markdown.create("button config 1 here");
}
// and so on...

I was also about to ask for something similar for views. Will try the code snippet.

In my case, I'd like to show some text based on the state of a boolean property, i.e. if true show the text while if false don't show the text.
I tried to modify the code like this:

{property} as bool
---
if (context.bound.bool === true) {
  return engine.markdown.create(`VIEW[text]`);
} 

but I'm not sure on how to properly modify it. An example of this in the advanced use cases would be neat!

Thank you very much i will do with js.
But i meant the feature like this:

label: "In Progress"
hidden: !(status === "Backlog" OR status === "Blocked")
id: "status-to-inprogress"
style: primary
actions:
  - type: updateMetadata
    bindTarget: status
    value: 'In Progress'

it will be more convenient for the cases like this to put condition in template.
Or even more better (i don' know if it possible) inline like this

`BUTTON[status-to-inprogress, hidden: !(status === "Backlog" OR status === "Blocked") ]

[mProjectsCode]

No, this will not be supported in the foreseeable future.
