Hi, anyone have an idea for hiding menu buttons based on field values or other parameters? I dont think it can be done natively thanks, Andrew Steele (UK) ---

Yea I’m aware and use that. I meant individual buttons on a menu. Hide one or more of the buttons based on values. ---

you can hide the view of that button, and create a text rich message view for user highlighting, why can not access this view.use page rule to hide and show based on record value. ---

I guess I could have different menus in different views and hide the ones that don’t apply - a bit long winded but should work. ---

Yes you can use different menus but that can be tricky if you can’t get both menus linking to the same pages We use js or KTL. ```auto $(document).on('knack-view-render.view_123', function(event, {key: viewId} ) { $(`#${viewId} li:contains('some text')`).remove(); }); ``` Replace 123 with your menu view Id and some text with your menu button text. If you want a specific condition for the code let me know and I can update the code. Craig ---

Hi Craig, thanks for this … I agree with the “extra” menu point to you make as you have to create new views with the same data sometimes, several times. I will try your method on a test app. ---

I’d use the KTL’s keyword \_cls (Add/Remove Class) to hide the button conditionally, like this: In my example, I have two conditions that hide each menu button, based on the value of the fields in the form below. This works with details views also. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/knack/original/2X/8/8ca77acdeb85601508c7c2aa547a1800b17750b0.png) Enjoy!! Norm ---

Hello Craig, Thank you very much for your tip. We will probably test it as js as we don’t use KTL. Michael
