Hide fields in a joined hosted feature layer view

RayKidd

Hi all,

Is it possible to hide fields in a joined hosted feature layer view?

I have joined two layers to produce a view but need to hide confidential fields from users. At the moment all fields are carried through from the two joined datasets. Searching online I can find various approaches to hide fields but none seem to work on a joined view. Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Thanks a lot.

Wouldn't this be a major reason for creating a joined layer in the first place? Would really like to know when this will be added.

Adding my voice to say that this feature is very sorely needed.

Can you detail the steps you used? I tried a few variations and wasn't successful.

abdhassa24

Yes it is still dynamic

AnnaJose

Hi @abdhassa24 I'll definitely try this out, thank you! Is the joined view layer still dynamic if we do this?

abdhassa24

You can do this using the Admin API, you first need to use the Delete Definition and then use Add Definition and provide the JSON with the select fields you want to expose in the Joined View

Hi all, I've communicated to the team that this functionality is in demand. It is on the development list for 2026, but a specific update has not been selected.

We appreciate your communication on the importance of this feature to your workflows.

@LaurenBallantyne - Has there been any update to this functionality request? I am in need of this feature to hide confidential fields from the public.

I would also really like this feature. Any update on when it might be implemented?

I would like to echo the desire for a feature to filter joined view layers.

LouisWorthington

How long till it will be implemented? Desperately need it!!

Sorry about that, I must have been confusing my hosted join for something else… Shame this isn't an option, though.

LaurenBallantyne

Hi @RayKidd,

Unfortunately views created via a join don't yet support view definitions (filters, field definitions, and areas of interest). This functionality is on the development list for hosted feature layer views.

RayKidd

Unfortunately 'update view' doesn't appear as an option in a joined view layer.

jcarlson

Yes, it should be possible. In the view layer's settings, it should have an Update View link, just like a regular view layer, and you can turn fields on and off.
