Microsoft Lists: How to hide columns in a new form using conditional formula

Introduction

While using Microsoft Lists, I encountered a situation where I wanted to hide specific columns in a new form.

I resolved this issue using the following approach.

Solution

I used a conditional formula to hide columns in a new form. Here are the steps and the formula I used:

1. Open the form

2. At the top of the form, select Edit form > Edit columns

3. Check the columns you want to hide on the new form

4. Select options menu (︙) > Edit conditional formula

5. Set the following expression in the conditional formula:

   =if([$ID],'true','false')
   

6. Select Save

   

This completes the setup. The column with the conditional formula will now be hidden in the new form.
