lfHide

Availability

This routine is available starting with 

  • Power Scripts 2.5 (server)
  • SIL Engine (former katl-commons) 2.5

Syntax

lfHide(field)

Description

Hides the given field.

Hiding fields and security

Note that hiding fields on the screen is not a security solution, the field is still present in HTML and can still be inspected via a simple Show page source.

Use this feature only to put a certain logic on the screen.

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
fieldStringYes

Specifies the field to hide.

See Standard Variables for available fields.

Example

The following code will hide the issue type field from the issue if the assignee is not an admin.

 if(assignee != "admin") {
     lfHide("issueType");
 } 

The image on the left side shows that the issue type is hidden and on the right side that the assignee is set to "test 1".

Now that the field is hidden, you can use lfShow to display it on the issue screen.
