I don't think so. The 'category' property is really only useful to distinguish
metadata sets for a particular use ('content' metadata, vs. for example 'layout
settings' metadata).

Conditionally showing a metadata set sounds rather difficult to me, in the
current framework...

Maybe, just maybe, you might be able to do something with the metadata 'access
handlers'. There're registered in SilvaMetadata/Access.py. If you register
another access handler that returns only the sets according to the conditions
you'd like... maybe that's an idea?

I'm curious, please let me know (are you on #silva?) if that would work out!!


kind regards,
