Get Rid of View and New button from Ref detail view

[App4Work]

Is there anyway to get rid of the View and New button I circled in red?

I’m afraid you can’t hide this “View (2)” button but you can hide that “New” button if your child table doesn’t have “Adds”. Or you can create a slice for your virtual list column.

That’s exactly what I needed! Thank you!

Here’s a link to a post on another thread where you can find a lot more detail about this;

We need the ability to easily hide the "New" button for inline views Questions

Nice! @Josh_Klassen I made a video showing how to do what you wanted (how to create your own action to create a child record in-place of the system generated action), then also included what @David_Joyce wanted (being able to restrict when child records are created). Hope it helps!

Thank for the help.

@Aleksi @MultiTech_Visions
When I set the system action “Add” to “Do not display” the button ref in the form view also disappear too. Any idea in this point? I want it only disappear in the detail view not form view. Could you please help.

You could make use of the CONTEXT() formula for the condition of the Add action; this checks to see what type of view the app is displaying, then based on that you can control when something is shown or not.

context(“ViewType”) <> “Form”

You can find info on CONTEXT() here:

Other Expressions

Expressions to modify text, create unique IDs, and work with location.

Shout out to @Fabian for bringing this use of context() to my attention!
