Hide column when creating document set

Question

I have a column in a document set that I want hidden when a user creates it but visible when I edit the document set properties. How can I do this?

Answer 1

you are able to hide,show fields in NewForm, EditForm and ViewForm by Powershell. Here is example (this is for SPO, cause you didn't mentoined if its SPS or SPO). For SPS is like this, but you need to use different commandlets:

$username = "[email protected]"
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "Password" -AsPlainText -Force

$siteUrl = [string]::Format("https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/site")
$cc = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($siteUrl)
$cc.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($username, $password)
$listTitle = "Documents"
$fieldName = "Title"

$Web = $cc.Web
$cc.Load($Web)
$cc.ExecuteQuery()

$List = $web.Lists.GetByTitle($listTitle)
$cc.Load($List)
$cc.ExecuteQuery()

$fields = $list.Fields
$cc.Load($fields)
$cc.ExecuteQuery()

foreach($field in $fields)
{    

    if($field.InternalName -eq $fieldName)
    {
        Write-Host "Editing field view availability:" $fieldName
        $cc.Load($field)
        $field.SetShowInNewForm($false)    #Hidden in New Form
        #$field.SetShowInEditForm($false)   
        #$field.SetShowInDisplayForm($false)
        $field.Update()
        $cc.ExecuteQuery()
    }
}

$Web.Dispose()
$cc.Dispose()
