 * Hi, use complex fields groups to display blocks of layout, by default carbon 
   fields present all the groups and field open, which make things messy when there
   is lot of fields, so i would like to know how to have them closed by default
 * Thanks

 * That’s not supported at this point, however, we’re currently developing a new
   layout for this cases — it will be represented the complex field as tabbed user
   interface rather than like accordion.
 * You can take a look at the new version here: [https://github.com/m1r0/carbon-fields](https://github.com/m1r0/carbon-fields)
 * You can take advantage of this by calling `set_layout('tabbed')` on the complex
   field.
 * We should be able to merge that to the master repository next week.

 * Glad you like it.
 * Please note that it’s still a work-in-progress feature, so it’s a good idea to
   take the `dev-master` version once we merge the feature to the trunk.

 * however, it would be nice to have an option to keep the fields vertically and
   closed, as if there is lot of fields they don’t fit horizontally.
    Also for the
   end user it can be confusing as in the page the fields are displayed in a vertical
   flow, so if he drag and drop them with the tabs it will horizontally. i am doing
   a sort of page builder with carbon fields i mean with a few fields it’s really
   nice : [http://webstantly.com/carbonfields.png](http://webstantly.com/carbonfields.png)
   but with lot of elements on a page it can become like that : [http://webstantly.com/cf2.png](http://webstantly.com/cf2.png)

 * so it would be nice to have the option to have that by default [http://webstantly.com/cfclosed.png](http://webstantly.com/cfclosed.png)
   instead of open
    and then the ability to choose tabbed or not
 * of course i will update when it will be merged
 * This is a work in progress too, a personal project to build sites quickly with
   it 🙂
