How to deactivate an inherited custom field without affecting the parent table

[Gintarevvv]

Hello,

Is there a more efficient way, or is there a Dictionary Override attribute that can make it inactive only on the child table? I checked the documentation but could not find a good solution.

Thank you

not possible

hide it from form using script and use List EDIT and Field level WRITE ACL to block the edit

Hi @Gintarevvv ,

If a field is inherited from the parent table to the child table, deactivating the field on the child table will also affect the parent table. A Dictionary Override cannot be used to achieve this, as it does not support deactivating inherited fields.
