Hi @Sadique Kabir 

Got your point, but the behaviour of this back button is actually wired some time. If you open many tabs it pick from history and take to back. I had very bad experience with this.

You can try @Robbie  solution.

Hi @Sadique Kabir,

This can be achieved with 2 steps as outlined below, however, I would like to ask what you're trying to achieve by removing this? What happens if someone uses the back button in the browser itself?

To answer your question directly however:

- Create below onLoad client script

- Make sure the 'isolate script' column for this script is set to false (Default is set to true to prevent DOM manipulation) - See below.

Script:

function onLoad() {
    // This hides the back button
	document.getElementsByClassName("btn btn-default icon-chevron-left navbar-btn")[0].style.display="none"; 
}

'Isolate script' set to false. (see below)

Hi Robbie,

This script is not working on records which pertains to a scoped application. It works well in forms like Incident, problem etc., Do you know how to make this work on forms which are related to applications other than global?
