Hidding field using script

avaiskhatri · March 19, 2019, 2:47am

I have written a script inside regional docType, and am able to create new custom fields using create_custom_fields after

importing
from frappe.custom.doctype.custom_field.custom_field import create_custom_fields

Now I would like to hide some fields using the same script,

anyone there who can help me?

Thanks.

Hello @avaiskhatri,

If you want to hide any fields especially if you are modifying the core doctype. You can refer this one.

github.com

iRaySpace/erpnext-scripts/blob/master/script_2.py

import frappe


def hide_doc_fields(*fields, **kwargs):
    """This method hides field using Customize Form"""
    c_frm = frappe.get_doc("Customize Form")
    c_frm.doc_type = kwargs['doc_type']
    c_frm.run_method("fetch_to_customize")

    for field in fields:
        c_frm.get("fields", {"fieldname": field})[0].hidden = 1

    c_frm.run_method("save_customization")

@iRaySpace can you explain why run_method is being triggered here?

Hello @avaiskhatri,
I have a different case. You don’t have to use the run_method().
