3395036 - Some fields are set ss "not visible", but only the "value" is hidden.

Symptom

  • You are trying to hide the field "State". 
  • You have set it as "Not Visible" (you have disabled the "Visible" toggle). However, you see that only the "value" is being hidden.
  • The same happens to other fields. E.g., Address Line 1, Address Line 2, Address Line 4, Country/Region.

"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental." 

Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Account WC;
  2. Start Adaptation Mode;
  3. Select the "State" field;
  4. Make the "State" field not visible;
  5. You will see that only the "value" of the "State" field is being hidden.

Resolution

This is the current system expected behavior. The field "State" behaves in a different way. In order to make the field "not visible", kindly click on:

  1. Go to Account WC;
  2. Start Adaptation Mode;
  3. Select the "State" field;
  4. Min the option 'Visible in Either Read or Edit Mode' and click on the dropdown and select: "Visible in Edit Mode Only".



  5. Doing this, will make the field "not visible" completely.

Please note this only works for Master Layout. Currently that is the only solution and for other layouts this is NOT possible.

*Note: The same issue happens to other fields. E.g., Address Line 1, Address Line 2, Address Line 4, Country/Region.
