How can I add child theme settings to the Dawn theme?

Using the Dawn theme with a few customisations for our stores. What I would like to do is add child theme settings to the existing accordion drop downs either as tabs or sub accordians.

So when for example you are looking at Buttons, when you click to open the Buttons settings using the accordion title you see the existing setting options. What I would like to have is a subset of theme button settings under that which I can then click on a sub-accordian and get additional settings.

I have tried to make an example here

Is there a way I can do this within the Dawn theme settings?

Hi @Sneaky ,

Shopify currently doesn’t support ‘child theme settings’, can you explain more about it, what are you looking to change?

OK thanks for the info, I thought that was the case.

What I am playing with is by adding some more “detailed” options in the theme settings. As per my example, there is a default set of settings for Buttons. However, I want to add some additional “optional” settings that are only displayed if the user wants to use them by clicking on the subheading.

Hi @Sneaky ,

Because Shopify doesn’t support ‘child theme settings’, so if you want just add an option directly at the same level as button, you can set it as ‘Button Sub’.

Please go to config > settings_schema.json file, find ‘buttons_shadow_blur’ and add code here:

Please note, this is just the settings, if you want it to work you need to have CSS experience.

If it helped you solve your issue, please mark it as a solution. Thank you and good luck.
