You could try setting the field type to system. That might do what you need. You might also look at the free add on 'showHideDependentFieldsPlus'. In combination that would give you a lot of options.

Hi Jeff,

I tried the system field - the problem is there is no easy way to get it back into a regular field if you need to.  This causes some issues if, say, a user does purchase something or need something they didn't need before.  The only way I have found to deal with this is to go back to the schema file.

I'll have to investigate the show/hide add-on again.  It's been a while since I looked at it, but for some reason opted not to use it at that time.  I just don't recall why.

Thank you for the input.

Gary.

To return a field to regular use, edit the field and under advanced, click the system field checkbox off.

Duh - I forgot to "enable system field editing" from the drop-down at the bottom of the page.

That actually works perfectly - by setting the field to System and setting it to Admin only, we will see the field, but the customer will not.  That's perfect!

Thanks,

Gary.
