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 @Shashank_Jain 
thank you for replying
When I called the view name and placed an alert below it, it was correctly showing the view name as "default".

@Praju_123 ,

I tried it on my PDI, and it's working as expected.

You can run the Script Tracer to check if any other script is interfering, or share more details about your instance — for example, are you using domain separation or any additional custom functionality?

You can also try it on your own PDI; it should work there as well.

Hi @Shashank_Jain 
It works only when the attachment field is empty.
However, in our use case, the record is created via a Record Producer, and an attachment is uploaded during that process.
We want the attachment field to be hidden in the default view, but visible in the Workspace view.

@Praju_123 

what do you mean by attachment field?

you are trying to remove the top header attachment icon and the header row right?

how is file attached to record producer?

Via paper-clip icon or some attachment variable?
