Ahoy @ServiceNow10sun,

 

instead of hiding it, you can restrict the audience who will see it... but why would you?

 

Or:
1) add conditions in the ui actions,

2) adjust ACLs

 

EDIT: there's no Save button on change_task table, so you might create one and adjust the conditions that will be applicable for Change task only, if you do it on Task level it will impact all the extending tables (problem, incident, ideas, ...)

 

There are 150 "Save" buttons :))

@ServiceNow10sun 

that button is on Global table

You can override and hide it like this

-> open the OOTB UI action

-> change the table to 'change_task' and Do Insert and Stay

-> the new UI action gets created and mark it Active=false
