How to hide Choice options without removing them

[ritaaudi]

Hi: I want to be able to hide some Choice entries but not remove them, so that they can be updated by business rules but prevent the user from selecting them. Is there a way to do this? I know you can use g_form.removeOption(<field>, <choice>). I guess I am looking for a g_form.hideOption(<field>, <choice>), but that doesn't work.

Thanks for your help!

I know this is a super old post, but I was looking for a solution to hide options without removing them.
Didn't find anything so I created my own. This solution is simple and allows you to hide choice elements but still allowing them to be set as proper values with displayValues by server-side scripts.

So this client script sets the options to be hidden but still usable by server side scripts.

function onLoad() {
   var options= Array.from(g_form.getControl('YOUR_FIELD_NAME')); //Set your target field
   var hiddenOptions = ['option_1', 'option_2']; //Add your choice values to hide here.

   options.forEach(function(e){
	if(hiddenOptions.indexOf(e.value) > -1)
		e.hidden = true;
   });
}

Example:

This worked beautifully.  Straight forward and easy to implement.  Thank you very much!
