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

[alvarofranz]

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?

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
 }
]

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.
