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.

still, it's not working.

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.

I was working on this question — by the way, great solution, @Ankur Bawiskar !

I  learned about Isolate Script.

One more thing I discovered while solving this question is that we cannot define "default" in the View Name field of a client script. 

It should be working @Praju_123  , I tried it on PDI and the solution @Ankur Bawiskar provided is working.
