Hide columns for certain content type in view in Sharepoint online
Hi all,
I have following scenario:
- I have created view on document library with folders and documents.
- I would like to hide some columns for folders, but make them visible for documents.
Is this possible in sharepoint online?
Thank you,
Peter

Although this thread is a few month's old, you could always create a custom Content Type for the folders. You can also tag folders in Quick Edit view with metadata values.
Take a look at 'Option 2' on this SharePoint Maven page:
https://sharepointmaven.com/4-ways-to-tag-folders-with-metadata-in-sharepoint/
This way you could filter/create a new view to hide certain columns. That may work.
Be aware that folder metadata does not propagate to the files underneath - so you can end up with different metadata values for the folder & the files within it.
- Well, you could try to do this with different view...but definitively this is something you cannot do in a single view
jcgonzalezmartin, ok thanks
