How to create a new form layout without all fields being displayed?
I've created a table of contacts say with only the two fields "First Name", "Last Name" and can see both fields in form view.
I would like to create a new form view that only shows "Last Name" but I haven't been able to hide a field in form view although I am able to change the visibility of a field represented as a column in list view.
What is the easiest way to achieve this?
Many thanks

you Already have a field for lastname. Create a new table formula field that uses field lastname called lastname2. Both will show up in your form view. While in form view edit mode add a new tab. Hold on the tab and you can edit the name of the tab. Call it last name. Now on the original form view in edit mode, select the new lastname and drag it up and place on the new tab. Click on either tab. The first will have all the info while the new tab will only have the new formula version of the last name. If you don’t get it I will try to add pics

Another approach is to create a Choice field with values like "Form 1", "Form 2", "Form 2", etc. and set its "Show As" property to "Switch".
Then go to the "Display field only, if" property of each field and enter:
contains(text(Choice), "Form 1")
changing the "Form 1" to "Form 2" or "Form 3", etc., as needed. The result is similar to Tabs, but might be more flexible, in some situations. -

To just hide a field, type
nullin its "Display field only, if" property.
