alternatives for DOM to hide additional table reference attributes under List collector Variable

[AjayPavanG]

Hi,

how to hide additional table reference attributes under list collector variable. As servicenow requested to eliminate DOM methods to use in Client scripts. Currently I have script that using document.getElementById() to hide this info. Without using DOM methods, how can I achieve my desired result ?

any alternatives for DOM to use in my client script ??

I have the following solutions but looking to see if there are any other solutions to hide these additional info without impacting any UI change or removing reference attributes ?

I can edit/remove the list elements under referencelist selection(sys_ui_list table) to hide/remove these attributes under list collector. 

Also, to change the list collector UI visibility, using glide_list helps not showing these additional info.

Hi @AjayPavanG ,

you have already mentioned the 2 approaches. (ref list and making the the list collector a glide_list)

I don't think there is any other way without DOM manipulation

with DOM you can try this

removing the list elements under referencelist selection(sys_ui_list table) impacts any other functionality elsewhere on the platform ?

Hi @AjayPavanG ,

yes, it will reflect in all the slush buckets ( you will see this when you click on EDIT button on related lists ) but since the table your doing it for looks like is won't be used much

so you can update the list 

else 

you can go with the glide_list

@AjayPavanG 

you can configure the view (sys_ref_list) and remove the fields from that view

Why to use DOM manipulation?
