table metadata lets us set 'isHidden' for a field, which makes it either hidden or not. is it possible to set something like 'not in default grid', which does exactly what it sounds like, except doesnt make this a hidden field? it seems to me that hidden fields should be those we dont actually want users seeing b/c they are confusing or we just dont want them visible. Not in default view applies that it's available, but we simply dont want to see it in most grids. |

Hi Ben,
isHidden is the only way to do this right now - as you've noted, it's overloaded.
In 10.2, you'll be able to specify a default customized view using a .qview.xml file in file based modules.
Thanks,
Josh |

hi josh,
that seems like a good idea. one thing that would be nice is if the default view could contain both positive and negative selection of columns. for example, say I set a default view because I dont want column X to show up. Then I add a new column to the table. I need to change the default view in order for this new column to show up. Granted, this is a minor inconvenience and once our system is more developed columns will probably change less. |
