<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>Site Settings provides 2 blocks, one is a rendered entity, the other is just plain field values, which is great, but limits the flexibility for site builders to control what is displayed and how.</p>
<p>Use case: I have a Site Setting type, Locations. In this type, I have an address field ( rendered as an address ) and a Geolocation field rendered as a Google Map. I have 3 view modes, Default, Address, and Map. </p>
<ul>
<li>Default displays the address and map.</li>
<li>Address just displays the address.</li>
<li>Map just displays the map.</li>
</ul>
<p>I want site builders to be able to place a map block in some contexts, and just an address block in other contexts. However, the Site Settings block only ever renders the default view_mode. </p>

<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Add a setting to the RenderedSiteSettingsBlock that allows for selecting any enabled view_mode for the selected bundle.</p>
<p>My thoughts are, add an AJAX callback on the BlockForm such that when a Site Setting Type is selected, a second select box is displayed with enabled view_modes for that Site Setting Type. </p>
