Wanted to hide Attachment field for the default view in custom table.

[Praju_123]

I'm trying to hide the attachment field from the form only in the default view. It should remain visible in all other views.

To achieve this, I wrote the following onLoad client script, but the field is still not hiding. I'm sharing the code below for your reference:

function onLoad() {

    var viewName = g_form.getViewName();

    if (viewName === 'default') {

        // Disable the paperclip icon for adding new attachments

        g_form.disableAttachments();

        // Hide the attachment section (classic UI)

        var attachSection = document.getElementById('header_attachment');

        if (attachSection) {

            attachSection.style.display = 'none';

        }

        // Hide the attachment separator line if present

        var attachLine = document.getElementById('header_attachment_line');

        if (attachLine) {

            attachLine.style.display = 'none';

        }

    }

}

Despite this, the attachment field is still visible. Could you please help us identify what might be missing or suggest an alternative approach?

@Praju_123 , I submitted a record producer on the Incident table and attached a file during submission. However, when I returned to the form view of the table, the attachment clip was not visible for default view. Client script was working fine.

Hi @Praju_123 ,

Have you tried to give view name after removing global check box on right hand side in client script:-

This can be an alternative approach. Try once and share feedback.

Do this and it should work fine

1) Ensure "Isolate Script" = false for your onLoad client script so that DOM is allowed

2) ensure you check Global checkbox so that it runs on all view, anyhow your script is checking the view name 

3) this field if not on form can be marked as False from list view

Note: DOM manipulation is not recommended

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 
I have already set the Global checkbox to true and Isolate Script to false.

Did you add alert and see what came in view name?

try this and share feedback

function onLoad() {

    var viewName = g_form.getViewName();

    alert(viewName);

    if (viewName === 'default') {

        alert('inside if');

        // Disable the paperclip icon for adding new attachments

        g_form.disableAttachments();

        // Hide the attachment section (classic UI)

        var attachSection = document.getElementById('header_attachment');

        if (attachSection) {

            attachSection.style.display = 'none';

        }

        // Hide the attachment separator line if present

        var attachLine = document.getElementById('header_attachment_line');

        if (attachLine) {

            attachLine.style.display = 'none';

        }

    }

}
