How to hide a field of type Table Grid Editor?

[Helen Porter]

Hi,

We need to hide the tab that contains the Table Grid Editor field. And leave it open to only three employees. How can we do this? Can I hide the field or tab itself?
I tried using the functions lfHideTab() and lfHide(), but they did not work. They work only with simple fields.

Hi Helen,

we tried that but must conclude that this is not possible as of the time writing those lines.

The grid represents "data" for the field in the database (even it empty) - so our approach to hide it when empty did not work. Restricting the view to several members also did not work out.

Probably somebody else had success doing it - would be interesting for us as well, up to now we haven't met anybody, though.

Cheers,
Daniel
