I have yang model as below,

```auto
container A {
config false;
callpoint a1;
leaf 1 {
}
leaf 2 {
}
leaf 3{
}
}

```

If I give show A it displays

```auto
A 1 = value_1
A 2 = value_2
A 3 = value_3

```

Any ideas on how to skip the container name from popping up in the show output without using a show template? I am running into a limitation with using a show template because some of the leaf displays are conditional on the value of other leafs.

Try adding “tailf:cli-add-mode” to the container.

Confd user guide indicates “Can be used in config nodes only” for cli-add-mode. I am using oper data to display the content of the leafs of the above container.

Try tailf:cli-column-stats for the same effect on the show output as tailf:cli-add-mode
