Hi hzzg6y,

You would need to manually remove this part of the first name field from the edit view as this cannot be removed using Studio. To do this, remove the ā€œcustomCodeā€ section of code from the first name array(around lines 58 & 59) of the editviewdefs.php files in Leads and Contacts.

Thanks,

Will.

I am using the latest SuiteCRM 7.0.1

Please advice also on removing the Contact detail viewā€¦ I donā€™t want
ā€œActivitiesā€, ā€œHistoryā€, Leads, Direct Report subpanels.

Even in Calls viewā€¦ I am seeing two times the Contact Subpanel.

Even in Accounts view " I see on Subpanel named ā€œMember Organizationsā€ which I
donā€™t need.

Hi hzzg6y,

Did you have developer mode on and did you perform a Quick Repair & Rebuild after executing the changes?

Thanks,

Will.

you should be doing your customisations in Custom e.g. ā€˜SuiteCRM/custom/modules/Contacts/metadataā€™

Yes, I did switched ON the Developer mode & also ran Quick Repair. I still see that Salutation is coming Edit mode of Contacts & Leads.
