There are some fields we use to work out attribution. For instance, name of the campaign referring a customer, name of the source, etc.

These details don't matter much to the sales team, but without the option to hide them from the Details view, it is one more annoying thing to look at (think really long numbers when you use Lead ID, Campaign ID from Facebook Lead gen).

 

In the data fields setting, it would be nice to have a flag to force hide a field, even if it is filled.

    Hi @Amit Sarda thanks for sharing. Our team is currently exploring conditional fields. So showing certain fields only in certain conditions. I'll pass on your feedback to them about this.

    Hi! 

    Is there a possibility to delete default fields? By deleting I mean not having these fields shown anywhere. Currently, there seems to be a delete option for some of the default fields (eg. Latest web visit and Linked web visitor), but the fields cannot actually be deleted (nothing happens when clicking "delete".

    Another option would be a possibility of hiding some default fields completely, so that they wouldn't be visible anywhere. Currently, we have  some custom fields that are showing in the deal detail view all the time, which is great. We have some other "less important" custom fields that are hidden from the deal detail view, but the users can see them when clicking "expand." Now, all these default fields become visible then as well. We have no use for some of them, and therefore it would be great if we could delete or hide them completely. Thanks!

    Conditional fields would be great, and answer a lot of questions on the boards about how we can maintain certain fields for different pipelines, hidden fields etc..  

    With other CRM tools the concept of page layouts is pretty universal, where you can display different page layouts to different groups of users or at different stages in your process. We still have to use Salesforce alongside Pipedrive to handle quotes and invoices. Our quote to invoice stages will show different fields that only need to be entered in the relevant stages

    Thanks @Michael for the additional comments, I'll pass it on to our team working on the area!

    Am I misunderstanding this? Fields like probability, stage, value, that have nothing to do with the way we work flow, these have to remain visible? I'm new to pipedrive and trying to see if I can make it work. Thank you.

    When exactly is this planned to be implemented? Pretty much every basic CRM request is met with the same response - "will pass it on to the team". When do these basic features become reality? After 2 years of using PD, I'm still waiting on this and several other features. After all this time, GApps email aliases still aren't supported.

    I have the same question as Athena. Some of the fields like "stage" or "label" are completely unnecessary for me. Is it possible to remove/hide them?

    We are looking for the ability to hide fields so users cannot see them. We use a variety (over 11) of fields for tracking purposes. These only serve to clutter up the experience of our users. They have no need to see them. 

    I see many requests on this but never an answer as to if and when this feature will be implemented.

    The abundance of Fields is littering the Pipedrive experience for our users with unnecessary details.

    Hi @Eli Glanz I know our team is working on an updated framework for our detail views, I've reached out to the designer in charge, hopefully we can work something out :)

    I have one older account where default "person" fields such as Birthday, Instant Messager, Notes, etc. Don't exist. This is good - they don't help me.

    I have one newer account where those default "person" fields not only exist, but I cannot make them go away.

    Seems odd that something as simple as this cannot be addressed. What am I missing? It gets in the way of me getting staff to comply with using the system.

    Hello,

    I would love the functionality of being able to edit default field names or just be able to hide them from users. Example "set expected close date" would love to hide this field and then make a custom field called "appointment date". OR just be able to change the name of the Default field to Appointment Made.

    Yes, please! I don't need to see the 'set expected close date' or the default 'source'. Adding ability to control/edit/hide default fields would be huge! Also, not sure why we need the small 'email', 'phone', 'address' indicators (see screenshot)

    Hi! I would also like to hide "adress" and "Label" from our detail field. Any idea of when that would be possible?

    I believe this would be very beneficial for any "sales" type of company who utilizes it to have the ability to hide, delete, and/or rename these default fields.

    I am another user who would love the ability to edit/rename or hide/delete the default fields in Pipedrive. I can see this request has been going back years now.. has any progress been made?!
