Hide Column
Hi all,
I'm looking to create a List for approvals (using Flow).
I just want one list for the requester to enter details (using item level permissions).
A flow will run which will use the Approve flow to send a notification to the manager to approve/reject
Then it will update two columns in the list (Set Approved to Yes, Approved by to the manager) if they select approve.
This is working fine but my query is can I edit the "Create new item" so the requester can't edit "approved" to yes and "approved by" columns?
I guess I could copy the list to another list for this but ideally I'd like the original requester to be able to edit the list after and add supporting documents. I just don't want them to be able to edit the approval columns.
- You could use powerapps but you could also easily use list settings > advanced settings (it might be in versioning can’t look right now.) but you turn on content types then go back to list settings page. From there pick the item content type and you can then select the two columns and hide them.
Now they won’t show on the new form but they will be available in the list view and to your flow. This might be enough to meet your need. If you need more edit rights to fields that were hidden after the initial form then you’ll need to look at the powerapp path.
