Invert boolean variable for layer display

Right now, tying layer visibility to a variable means if the boolean is false = layer is hidden. It’d be great if we could invert this functionality (boolean is false = layer is shown) on a per-layer basis as I need to show some layers and hide others depending on the state of the variable.

Anyone else run into this?

I am afraid that HyperCard app on original Macintosh in 90’s was more capable 😦

As HyperCard used it’s own scripting language it absolutely was capable.

Add a per-layer “invert visibility” toggle (e.g. a checkbox). When checked, it flips the logic so that:

If invert = false: visible = variable
If invert = true: visible = !variable

I would love this feature to simplify my components on the design system. Example of a common use case. I am building a button tab which can have an icon or a tag on the left, but should not have booth at the same time (if one is showing, the other should be hidden). I need to prevent our team to create that exception while designing. Slots would also help on this, if it ever comes...
