This article says you’re supposed to used 'display' => 'hide' (instead of 'none'), although it’s for panels, not fields - I am not sure if this should be the same…

Nice :smile:

  array(
          0 =>
          array(
            'name' => 'case_number',
            'label' => 'LBL_CASE_NUMBER',
          ),
          1 =>
          [
            'name' => 'priority',
            'display' => 'none',
            'logic' => [
                'calculate-priority-display' => [
                    'key' => 'displayTypeBackend',
                    'modes' => ['detail', 'edit', 'create'],
                    'params' => [
                        'fieldDependencies' => [
                            'type',
                            'name',
                        ],
                        'process' => 'calculate-priority-display',
                        'activeOnFields' => [
                            'type' => ['User'],
                            'name' => [
                                ['operator' => 'not-empty' ]
                            ]
                        ]
                    ]
                ],

Did anybody try this with the panels? I find this incongruity between ‘hide’ and ‘none’ annoying, and potentially misleading…
