Editor: How to hide a field in the edit & create forms

robsimpson

I see this example in https://editor.datatables.net/reference/api/field().hide():

editor.field( 'account_type' ).hide();

but I don't know where to put this in my code.

I've tried adding 'hide: true' in the editor declaration:

editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
        ajax: {url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5025/backend', type: 'POST' },
        table: '#tablename_v1',
        idSrc:  'id',
        fields: [
            {
                "label": "Id:",
                "name": "id",
                hide: true
            },
{...]

but this doesn't work.

How can I do this?

Thanks,

Rob

Ah, I've realised you can remove it from the Editor definition. That seems to work!
