Confiforms: Displaying only certain fields with Entry Viewer pop up

[Christian Perry]

Hi again,

I see this question was posted in 2022 with no answer here so I just wanted to follow up. 

I have a tableview with certain fields but some of these fields have looong descriptions. Id love to use an entry viewer button on the tableview to display the looong field(s) but as of now I can only get it to show EVERY field on the form. I just want it to show a couple. Any ideas?

Hi,

By default, it displays all the fields but you can choose the fields in the entryView with the macro confiforms field.

Hi,

It appears that whenever I put a macro inside the entryviewer, it still shows everything.

Could you share your configuration?

@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ here you go. the entryviewer still shows all fields in the form instead of just selected ones. you probably can't see it since you dont have the fields defined

You have set the EntryViewer to use the default layout from the ConfiForms Form Definition (when a Registrations Control macro is put there)

Uncheck this option in the EntryViewer macro

[Christian Perry]

I see! I think my main problem is that it shows everything as text with no text boxes so it was throwing me off. I can work with that. Thanks Alex!

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

You can show fields with labels or with any layout you want

If you drop just the ConfiForms Field macro then it will be rendered without any label, just the value - but you can adjust this easily using the macro parameters
