  • What are you trying to do? Disable attachments for that List? Did you really use SharePoint Manager to customize the View- and EditForm? Or did you use SharePoint Designer?

  • see i dont want attachment field to show in the 'displayform.aspx' and 'editform.aspx' , it should only be visible in the 'newform' . and i used SharePoint manager tool not the designer . as sharepoint manager tool has the options to hide or show the list columns in different forms.

    Attachment is kind of 'special'.. I never tried hiding fields using SharePoint Manager... Have you tried the option in th UI: Ribbon -> Settings menu -> List Settings -> Advanced settings -> Attachments? There should be an option to (not) add the attachments to default views...

I see the following options:

  1. Use JavaScript in the Edit-/DisplayForm to hide the button.
  2. A CustomAction to remove the Button Completely, then add a new one which only appears in the NewForm. (Also JavaScript in this soltution)
  3. Add custom Edit- & DisplayForms (not sure if this works, tough)
  4. Develop & depoly a WebPart, use SPRibbon.TrimById to remove the attachments-button from the ribbon, add the WebPart to the Edit-&DisplayForm

well i had to do it through css on displayform #idAttachmentsRow{display:none !important;} as no other options was there for me and my EditForm was custom so i just kicked that attachment field from it.
