Has anyone 'customized' an edit form? I want to
hide fields that are not entered by the user
change order of fields on the form.
Hi,
To hide a field, you select it in the form edit window and select Hidden Field.
To rearrange the fields you hover over the field and click and hold on the colored section on the left in the field section and move it to where you want it to be.
Edit: If you are referring to the Edit Row function you can rearrange the fields by changing the order of the columns in the sheet, but unfortunately there isn't a way to hide the fields that are not used.
I hope this helps you!
Have a fantastic week!

This doesn't seem to work - I am referring to the Edit box that opens (not a form that I created).
Thanks!
I second this question. I have yet to find a way to do this. Even locking and hiding the columns in Grid view seems to do nothing when in the Edit form. As I am the sheet owner though I wonder if that's the reason. Is it possible that someone with just Edit capabilities would only see the felds that are not hidden?
Hi @Doug Carr
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible to change what is shown in the Edit Row and what's included, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
Is that an option?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
