Dear Developers

It’s on Detail, after you click on a detail of record on index

I was able to hide a Field simply by typing

kintone.app.record.setFieldShown(“field\_name”, false);

However, after I set two field into a table, I’m able to hide the table but can’t hide the field (row)

Let’s say: table=table\_ab, field 1=A, field 2=B

I’m able to hide the table\_ab, but cant hide A using kintone.app.record.setFieldShown(“A”, false);

Please help, any answer would be appreciated, thank you

Hello Afief,  
This can be done by using the JS and the CSS. The scripts are something like the following:

Javascript

```
(function() {
"use strict";
kintone.events.on(["app.record.detail.show"], function(event) {
document.getElementById('record-gaia').classList.add('xxx-show');
return event;
});
})();

```

CSS:

```
.xxx-show .subtable-gaia th:nth-child(2),
.xxx-show .subtable-gaia td:nth-child(2) {
display: none;
}

```

The above sample scripts will hide the 2nd field in a table upon displaying the record detail.  
If you want to hide the 3rd field in a table,&nbsp;change the “nth-child(2)” to “nth-child(3)” in the CSS script.  
Also FYI, you need to create separate files for the Javascript and the CSS.

And lastly, these scripts&nbsp;are utilizing the DOM&nbsp;so&nbsp;it may not work one day after any kintone update when the DOM structure changes.

I hope this helps.

Just to note,&nbsp;_**kintone.app.record.setFieldShown()**_&nbsp;cannot be used against&nbsp;fields inside tables
