Remove "preview record" icon from a reference field that's extended from the task table

[Dev321]

Hi i need to hide the  "preview record" icon from a reference field that's extended from the task table. I was able to hide the icon on other fields on the form due to them being on a table of their own. how do I do this for a field that is inherited from the task table?

Hi @Dev321 

Go to the filed for which you want to hide preview record option right click and open Configure Dictionary and scroll down then click on advance view and in attributes and this parameter "ref_decoration_disabled=true".

@Dev321 I hope that you are referring to a field which exist in the task table and extended to a child table (ex:- Assigned field on the incident table is extended from the task).

In this case right click on the respective field and click on configure dictionary, navigate to the "Dictionary Overrides" section and open the record for the incident table. In the dictionary override record enable override attributes checkbox and add the attribute "ref_decoration_disabled=true".

Note: In case the checkbox is already enabled and a value exist for the override attributes field add ", ref_decoration_disabled=true" after the present. 

This way you are only modifying the behavior in the incident table and other tables will behave as usual.

Please mark the appropriate response as correct answer and helpful, This may help other community users to follow correct solution.

Hi @Arun_S1 

I cannot find the "Enable Override Attributes" checkbox. Below is what my page looks like. Any suggestions?
