Hi aev,

Try editing the hidden field in the field editor and setting these values:

Checked Value: Hidden
Unchecked Value: -

(or whatever you want displayed)

I'll add the "toggle hidden from editor list view" to the feature request list for a future version. We've thought of that as well.

Hi Dave,

any news on when this will be added to CMSB? Todays "hidden" columns look awful! [:(]

In addition to a narrower column with some type of symbol, it might also be a great idea to add a class="hidden" to the hidden rows. This way we could add our own css for hidden rows as well.

Maybe you could take this even further and add a class="<fieldname>" to every table cell, this way we could use css to style the hidden cells to a narrow width. With more classes we could even attach some custom jquery code to the standard UI to enhance/modify it.

The last thing we want to do is to apply changes directly to the CMSB code since it's very difficult to keep track of those changes when working on multiple sites, and it is a problem when updating CMSB.

Hi aev,

No ETA for those yet. I believe you can currently control what is displayed in the list view for hidden fields, though.

I'll make a note of your other requests. Thanks for the suggestions! :)
