How to hide New button from the list view which is opened by clicking on reference icon

[Community Alums]

Hi Team,

I have created a field called shipping address as in the below screenshot, its a reference field. After we click on the reference icon, it opens the list of locations(cmn_location), I do not want the New button to be visible there.

Note:The New button should be visible when we open cmn_location.LIST ,Or directly open the locations

Can anyone help on this?

when you open that lookup list; you do right click on list header and in list control use Omit New condition script field and add that logic

I did the same for problem_id field on incident table and it removed new button on lookup list

if(RP.getParameterValue('sysparm_view') == 'sys_ref_list' && RP.getParameterValue('sysparm_target') == 'incident.problem_id')
	answer = true;
else
	answer = false;

It's showing when I opened problem list using problem.list

New button is hidden on lookup list

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

@Ankur Bawiskar  Actually if we do that it will also hide the New button from the locations table list view when we directly navigate over there.

is there any other way?
