I am looking to show/hide columns with CSS via a field value of a seperate view on a single screen. Reasoning: I have many users that need to view and hide columns of a large grid at different times of the day. It is an attendance application. I understand different views could be the answer but hiding/showing columns would be much cleaner for the end user. My Success: I am able to inline edit a Yes/No on view one and hide a list field value on view 2 with CSS based on the value of Yes/No one view one. My Failure: I am unable to find the CSS selector and code to hide/show columns. I have found interesting ideas but can not find the selector/path to address the column and show/hide the column. Anyone have any suggestions or examples that can help or lead me in the right direction? FS ---

Have you looked into using KTL’s \_hc Hide Column keyword? Dean ---

Thanks @NormandDefayette_CortexRD - also I appreciate you pointing out the below verbal typo 😉 _When you say: “…if condition is Ex Student, hide the field\_80 in view\_441”_ _Actually it should be: “…if the value in field\_80 of view\_441 is Ex Student, hide column Update”_ ---
