Hide Doc.Lib column from entering values while uploading a document

Question

How can I hide a form from Displaying a custom field that is created in my document library ? Its a document library and I am updating this column through itemadded() eventreceiver.

My issue is this column - NPDModifiedBy will be filled with my code in eventreceiver and should not be from sharepoint UI. So, i dont want to show this field, when end user uploads the document into my document library

How to hide this doc.lib column while uploading the document upload? [this is not a site column] []1

Answer 1

Try below powershell:

$web = Get-SPWeb https://sitecollection
$list = $web.Lists["ListName"]
$column = $list.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("NPDModifiedBy")

#Change the ShowInEditForm and other properties and update objects
$column.ShowInEditForm = $false
$column.ShowInNewForm = $false
$column.ShowInDisplayForm = $false
$column.ShowInViewForms = $false
$column.PushChangesToLists = $true;
$column.Update()
$web.Update()
$web.Dispose()
