Hide field when editing
When you hide field when editing, the field becomes hidden in the entry editor, but its content remains present in the API response. Use this status to hide a specific field from the editors.
NOTE: A user still has an option to show a hidden field and edit its content in the entry editor. To restrict a user from editing the hidden field, configure the user's space role accordingly — for example, add a deny rule preventing the user from editing this field.
To hide field when editing:
Log in to the Contentful web app.
Go to the Content model tab.
Go to the required content type and click to open it. The content type editor is displayed.
Go to the required field and click on the three dots actions menu. Select Hide field when editing.
Click Save to apply changes to your content type.
