I want to hide the "Export" option in the FORM context menu, not in the list view. Does anyone know how to do it? Thank you!

Hi there,

you can hide that by commenting out (or modifying elsehow) the UI Macro context_form_header, which I will not recommend you at all, it is OOTB feature and you will get problem with every single instance update...

I commented out the lines 97-115:

And the result:

ONCE AGAIN: I strongly recommend you NOT to update this, not only as it will cause troubles with instances upgrades (so yearly or half-yearly) but it has hidden the View option from the context menu as well... 


EDIT: you can also change the particular lines to false (100, 104 etc) just for the XML and other options but still this is not a good idea...

Please, let me know if this helped you and if so, please mark this response as solution accepted, thank you
