What is the feature?

I want to be able to remove redundant fields from default record creation form.

What problem does this solve for you?

Admin won’t have to look at fields that he/she doesn’t need

Who else would be using this feature?

Everyone everytime they need to add something.

Hi @Francois_Vongue,

You can easily do that by:

  1. going on your record creation form
  2. Enable Layout editor mode
  3. Hiding the fields you want to hide from the creation form

@Simon_BRAMI1 , I get a browser JavaScript error when I click the dropdown in your screen shot and the dropdown doesn’t open. Is your team aware of this issue? I tried on Firefox and Chrome most recent versions and neither worked.

Hey Jordan

I’m not part of forest team, though I’m not able to reproduce your issue, please give more details about the error and your stack so that the community can help you out :slight_smile:

Sorry about the confusion @Simon_BRAMI1 !

It only happens to me when trying to edit the create page of a few tables. I think I’ve narrowed it down to if my table has a field that is configured as a dropdown with a static list of options, the record details dropdown on the edit layout for the create new record page won’t open.

I think that’s the root issue as I change my column from a dropdown field to a plain text and it started working again.
