Hiding a Field on New Record 28 Feb 2013 05:24 #6871

Hey guys,

I'm creating a form that I would like certain fields to show on new - and certain fields to show on edit.

I guess the models/form/form.xml files are used for both new and edit. Same goes for views/form/tmp/form.php.

Any pointers?

Cheers
Just call me Chris :)

The simplest way would be to create 2 layouts; 1 for new and a 2nd for edit - simple!

Then, in your grid/collection, point the edit task to the 'edit' layout you've defined and the 'new' task to the 'new' form.

Hope it helps,

Just to point out as well
- if you put an edit task button in the grid of a collection / list view (so that each record has its own edit button)
- it will point to the Default View!
- make sure your default view is your edit layout
