Set Field IsVisibe to false ArcGIS Pro SDK

Question

I am trying to hide some fields with an add-in. The documentation says that the IsVisible property for a FieldDescriptions object can be get or set. I am coming from python so I am not sure if setting the property is quiet the same in c#. Here is link to IsVisible porperty ArcGIS Pro 2.2 API Reference Guide Here is the code I have so far internal class Hide : Button { protected async override void OnClick() { await HideFields(); } public Task HideFields() { return QueuedTask.Run(() => { List<string> fieldList = new List<string>() { "NORTH","EAST","HRMS","PDOP","SATELLITES","LATITUDE","LONGITUDE","PHOTO","PRODUCT_TYPE","LINE_TYPE","AFE","FILE_NAME","WELD_TYPE","WELD_LOCATION","XRAY_PERCENTAGE"}; var mapView = MapView.Active; var listLayers = mapView.Map.Layers.OfType<FeatureLayer>(); foreach(var lyr in listLayers.ToList()) { var fields = lyr.GetFieldDescriptions().Where(f => fieldList.Contains(f.Name, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)); foreach(var field in fields) { FieldDescription fieldDesc = field; fieldDesc.IsVisible=false; //MessageBox.Show(field.Name.ToString()); } } }); } }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hi Gary -

Did you resolve this issue?

It looks like you had it, save but one line of code.

In fact your snippet helped me, so thank you!

Basically i think you could add "lyr.SetFieldDescriptions(fields);" to line 23.

The method is also mentioned here, so thank you, too, Uma Harano @UHarano-esristaff:
