Can I add a custom liquid section to Dawn theme's multicolumn?

Topic summary

Main issue: add a Custom Liquid block (arbitrary Liquid/HTML like an iframe) to the Dawn theme’s Multicolumn section and get it to render, including on mobile.

Progress and attempts:

  • Initial code edits allowed adding a Liquid block to Multicolumn, but content (e.g., a Google Maps iframe) did not render on the page. Similar behavior reported by another user: appears in the editor, not on the frontend.
  • Developer checked one store and said it worked in their testing; user reported the issue persists on Chrome/Mac.
  • An alternative solution was shared: a revised multicolumn.liquid that includes slider assets (component-slider.css), proper schema/options, and reportedly works for that user.

Mobile-specific issue:

  • Several users observed that columns with only custom_liquid are treated as empty and hidden on mobile; content appears only if text/title fields are filled.
  • A CSS workaround was proposed: .multicolumn-list__item–empty { display: block; } added via the section’s custom CSS. Latest report (2024) says this workaround no longer works.

Status: no definitive, consensus fix. Partial solutions exist (section code overhaul, CSS override), but rendering and mobile visibility remain unresolved for some setups; thread is effectively ongoing.
