Create Record - Hide Fields that Cannot be Modified (i.e. Formula Fields)

[log]

The idea is:

For databases, when creating a new record (via the ‘Create Record’ button) - fields that are not allowed to be edited (i.e. formula fields) I think should be hidden, or displayed in a way that is more obvious that input is not expected/possible for them. Currently it shows the disabled field and can see that it’s disabled on hover.

My use case:

Just adding new records manually into a table via the ‘Create Record’ button and think it would be cleaner to only show the fields the user can input values in. Either that, or make it more clear those other fields cannot accept input values - so it’s more clear to the user/teammate.

Very minor, but I think there could be some improvement here. Thanks!

Hi @log , thanks for the thoughtful suggestion!

A quick workaround is to create a dedicated input view for adding new records — we often use this approach ourselves. In the view settings, you can hide fields that don’t need to be filled in (like formula fields), so teammates only see what they need to enter.

That way, the create record experience stays clean and focused.

Appreciate you sharing this!
