Although unseemly to ask on the day of a major release... fools rush in...

Mostly good stuff with release 5.70, however I am disappointed that the ability to hide a column in table view is only present at the front end while the equivalent back end capability is ignored!

In addition to
1) Hide in table view
2) Hide in detail view
there should be:
3) Hide field in child table view

Is there any hope that this might make it into a subsequent minor release?

I don't think it is overtly "bloat" but rather gives a degree of aesthetics and control that would be useful in many cases

Hiding columns at the front-end serves a different purpose than hiding them server-side: It's a convenient way for users to see only the data they're interested in and hide the rest. Implementing this feature server-side (field-based permissions for each group) is part of our future plans but needs careful implementation. Stay tuned!

Regarding your suggestion for option to hide a field in child table view, it makes a lot of sense and we'll try to add it in AppGini 5.71.

Thanks for the feedback

Thank you for response; indeed my hope for hiding columns in child table view was that it might be simple enough to make it into an early minor release (with few, if any, ramifications requiring careful examinations as would probably be case for user group based selection).
