Form column hidden

[Sirfyaad]

• I have 16 columns in my form. App formulas have been placed in 14 of these columns. I want only these 14 columns to work in the background but the columns in the form remain hidden. 

 

My english is not good. But I have tried my best to understand you.

Each column can have a "Show If" expression.

You could (for example) hide them if the view is a form with this expression:

CONTEXT("ViewType")<>"Form"

[Sirfyaad]

CONTEXT("ViewType")<>"Form

Please explain this expression

CONTEXT() | AppSheet Help Center

Whether the select function will be working even after the column is hidden. 

[graham_howe]

The select function is looking at the table not the form, it doesn't matter if a column is hidden in any views, it is still part of the table.

[SkrOYC]

Any expression (initial or appformula) will work, it doesn't matter if it's hidden since it just applies to UI
