    Dynamic field displays in lists or changes in defaults.

    Is it possible (without changing the List code) to display certain fields in lists but not others dependent on record?

    For instance, we have a Supplier entity type with a Person parent. Some of our suppliers are people. Some are companies with which we don't have a named contact. Some of our suppliers are companies and we DO have a named contact. As it is now, when we list suppliers, we list name and company. When it's a company with which we have a direct contact, it looks fine on the list. When it's a person without a company name, it looks fine on the list. But when I don't fill in the name, and only fill in the company it just says 'None' in the name field. In our ideal scenario, we would just not display the name when the name field is empty.

    Is it possible to not display this? Or to change the 'none' that gets stored with some blank entities to a blank instead of 'none' ?

    You may change the word none in the label manager (administration -> customization -> label manager). But it is not possible to leave it empty and even "space" does not work as far as I remember. I put there a "-".
    You cannot prevent to display by condition.

      Thanks. I've noticed if I leave the name fields empty, because it's a 'person' entity, it creates a random string ID field for the link from name. I guess what I'd want is some kind of mixture of Account and Person entity that stored primary IDs either as name OR company for list linking purposes. But for now, it looks like I will just copy the name of the company to the name field so as not to confuse things.
