Design Properties: remove property options?

0
Hi all,   I recently started working with Mendix and am currently tackling the Design System in our project. To make it our developers as easy as possible I would like to prevent them from accidentally using Design Properties we do not use. We rely on custom styling.   I could of course document all the do's and don'ts but to prevent confusion I would like to not have them displayed in the list of properties at all. Can this be done? The documentation does not offer any solution as far as I can tell.     Looking forward to hear from you!   PS: this is my first community post :).

Hey Miguel, unfortunately not. I am afraid it comes down to instructing the developers.

Hi team,

 

yes this can be done.

there are restrictions though, if a page in your project requires a design property, but the design property no longer exists, you receive an error. because a lot of mendix default pages use design properties I would advise to train your developers what 'good' looks like.

 

if you want to go down that road I recommend reading these 2 guides:
