Hide custom field from create/modify.html

Hi all

Im performing some ajax functions on a custom field with extremely long
character lengths. Im linking it to the queue field, so if i select a queue,
I get the custom field automatically populated. Im calling the custom field
separately in the code through the API and all of this seems to work fine.
Unfortunately the custom field exists a second time on the pages, as all
custom fields are shown at the bottom of the create and modify.html pages -
these instances are too short to show the data in the field.
Does anybody know if there’s a way to hide a custom field from the create or
modify.html page. Ive got about five custom fields and want to show four in
the usual manner.

regards

Garry

ps if anybody is interested in the ajax stuff, Ill post it on the wiki

Sounds like you want to use the MassageCustomFields callback in
EditCustomFields to suppress certain fields
