Prefix for invisible fields?

datanibbler — Mon, 04 Nov 2013 15:46:04 GMT

Hi,

I know there is some setting somewhere for a prefix you can put in front of fieldnames so that selections made on that field won't show up in a status_box.

=> I have fields like plant1, plant2, plant3 - I have named them all differently to avoid automatic linking, but they have the same meaning

=> Using triggers, it is possible to repeat a selection made on plant1 on the other 2

=> I would like to not show these selections, it would just clutter up my status_box and cause some potential for confusion.

Can someone please just tell me where this setting is? I can't find it.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

DataNibbler

Put

SET HidePrefix = '_';

in your script, then prefix the field names with an underscore.

Hi swuehl,

needless to say, you're right. I remember it now - we had it once in another context.

I'm just reloading. I have some other GUI problems with this, but that's one of them solved.

Thanks a lot!

I think you're looking for HidePrefix or HideSuffix.
