How to hide a module field so it never shows in the editor UI

alvarofranz — Wed, 07 Jun 2023 11:31:43 GMT

I have my reasons to ALWAYS hide a field in the editor UI, but I don't see any option to do this.

Reading the docs, I came up with a "hack" to do this, which would be:

"visibility" : { "controlling_field_path" : "whatever_other_field", "controlling_value_regex" : "some-random-string-that-is-very-weird-86482", "operator" : "EQUAL" }

This will hide the field unless the value of "whatever_other_field" is "some-random-string-that-is-very-weird-86482".

But I'm not happy with this solution.

I wonder why there isn't a simple "hidden": true property.

Any other approach that is not so hacky?

Hello @alvarofranz

There is no built-in way to hide a module field in HubSpot. The workaround you mentioned is the only way to do it. Or You can use a CSS selector to hide the field from the editor UI. You can use a JavaScript function to hide the field from the editor UI.

Hi @alvarofranz ,

You can set the module parameter "locked" to true to hide it from the editor.

[ { "name": "button_text", "label": "Button text", "type": "text" "locked": true } ]

@alvarofranz
I believe you are searching for this:

"visibility": {
"hidden_subfields": {
"opacity": true
}
}

{ "name" : "bt_txt_color", "label" : "Text color", "required" : false, "locked" : false, "type" : "color", "visibility": { "hidden_subfields": { "opacity": true } }, "default" : { "color" : "#000000", "opacity" : 100 } }
