Hi guys,
I am trying to show a group of repeatable fields in the backend on a condition (a dropdown). I cannot find the option to make the whole block invisible (fields in the repeatable fields can be hidden though), causing the backend to be unclear for the admin. Is it correct that this is not possible at the moment? And is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Marc

Yes, this is correct, only single Fields in a Repeating Group can have set conditions.
Or, before you add a repeating Field Group to a Post Fields Group, you can set the global conditions for the Fields Group and use Fields as conditions too.

If you add just one repeating Fields Group to this Post Fields Group you should be able to achieve what you describe (to show the whole repeating group only conditionally to other fields values).

Note that after adding a repeating field group to the post field group you won't be able to edit the conditions anymore.
I have filed a request to allow that.
