When I hide some fields on the computer on some view, the same fields are still visible on my phone app (iPhone last version of app 2016/05/26) from the same view. Basically, all fiels are visible on the app
A hidden field is hidden from the mobile card view, but it is still shown when the record is expanded. Similarly, on the web browser, a hidden field is hidden from the grid view, but shown when the record is expanded.
We realize this can be confusing, so we’re considering changes to make hidden field behavior a bit less surprising!
I was just checking on this since we are running into the same issue at our company. I know this is intended functionality but it would be great to have a button at the top right that allows you to show/hide hidden cells. Also I recognize this is an old thread.
Perhaps have the cells hidden by default, unless you tap “show”?
any update on hiding what’s hidden on android app? I have many columns that are hidden but when they show up on mobile it makes it difficult to navigate and find the right columns
Yeah, this should at leas be the same as an expanded view on desktop where hidden fields are grouped under a toggle at the bottom. I agree with previous users. I don’t want to see all these fields on any device when I hide them.
I am considering using Airtable for a startup as it mostly suits their needs, however, this is a real issue. I am concerned that it has been open for two years and Airtable have only commented once on this.
The fact that the app which is certainly where most of the data entry will be doesn’t hide the fields when the record is expanded seems odd, particularly when forms do not work on the app and therefore it is the only method of data entry available.
Our organization is too extremely disappointed that this problem ever and continues to exist having been a known issue for a very long time now. I echo the request for a roadmap on fixing this.
