Add Feature To Hide Plugin Sections On Record View

Add Feature To Hide Plugin Sections On Record View

Hi team,

I'm trying to help a client tidy up their CRM.

When it comes to record view some sections and fields are visible no matter what Layout Rules are applies and they are not removeable from the layout editor.

I would like to see an option to hide those section either in Layout Rules or via an option on the Section settings.

I think this is not a big ask as I can see that on the front end those sections can be hidden by adding style="display: none;" to the parent div.

Here's an example of what I mean by style="display: none;" https://youtu.be/iEiLJJ5TaAQ

Below is an example of how that might look in the layout editor.



I see other users are looking for the same.

Thanks for listening.
