Please give us an option to hide fields in the Expanded Record view based upon the hidden fields in the grid view.

fully support! I personally use 1-2 columns for calculations / functions. And it is absolutely confusing / useless to display those columns. looking forward to this function being added.

This is a must! We use this as inventory management software and I’d love to be able to hide fields from our technicians so they don’t see clutter when inputting data while out of the office.

Please and thanks!

Please add this. I am using Airtable as a project management tool. The Expanded Record View is critical and its been frustrating trying to make it look good when I use all of the features of Airtable. There are several ways to implement this, but probably the easiest and most effective would be to mirror the View you are looking at. If it is not on the View, then its not on the Expanded Record. Probably the easiest to program for you as well.

Just started in with Airtable… it didn’t even occur to me that hidden fields would show up in expanded view. PLEASE make expanded view match/mirror the main table view.

I will be using Airtable with multiple users who need the least amount of distraction or confusion as possible when using the base. Airtable is already super user friendly, however this was a concern as I demonstrated the use of the program for our intended purposes. Users became confused by some of the columns I needed to place to create formulas because I couldn’t hide them in expanded view.

I vote for this feature too. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

It would be helpful for me to be able to have separate settings for expanded view, different from the grid. This way I could ‘drill down’ to get more detail about that specific record, while still being able to hide some of the fields I’ve created that I either don’t need right then, or may also be calculated fields used for sorting or filtering, etc.

This also helps because my record ID is calculated. I hide the source fields in grid view to aid in searching, and it would be nice to edit them in expanded view.
