Hello Arushi,

Good to know that my articled helped you. If you want to hide for specific icon, there is no directly way.

In your rows , you can do a check for the text in the 1st column (after pencil) and if that matches you can hide it. Here is sample code for that.

    icon = this.document.getElementsByClassName("wrapper-xs fa fa-pencil");
    for (i = 0; i < icon.length; i++) {
        if (icon[i].getAttribute("title") == 'Edit Row') {
            if (icon[i].parentNode.nextElementSibling.innerText == 'YOUR TEXT') {
                icon[i].style.display = 'None';
            }
        }
    }

In the code, replace it with your text and then check. Then it will disable the pencil icon only for that row having that text.

Hi Aarushi,

So are you saying you are having 2 rows in MRVS then you want to hide it only for 1 row?

please explain in detail

the script shared in my earlier comment should hide it directly
