In the Map view, group layers can be set to "Checkbox" or "Radio" types, allowing mutually exclusive visibility. However, in Layouts, while grouping elements is possible, there is no equivalent "Radio group" functionality.

I'd like to request support for "Radio group" behavior in Layout element groups. This would allow only one element within a group to be visible at a time. It would be especially useful when managing complex layouts with multiple alternative elements (e.g., titles, legends, logos, notes). This addition would streamline workflows and reduce manual visibility toggling.

Note: ChatGPT helped me write this idea. While it is my original idea, I used the help of our computer overlords to clarify things.

Hi @jkirschenman_mwc , can you clarify how this idea is different from using a thematic map series using radio groups?

I think the difference is that this Idea refers to Layout elements, such as scalebars or legends.
