How can I remove/hide built-in Title field in list definition

Question

Now I'm customize a new Content and then new List Template, just like below definition;

 <ContentType ID="0x0100ed096ab35eeb4d2e98fb71b9842e9616" Name="Staff Member" Group="Berry Gardens Internet">
  <FieldRefs>
   <FieldRef ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" Name="Title" />
   <FieldRef ID="{F5E777EA-C083-4c2f-BC10-E4BF2B4D6372}" Name="Synopsis" />
   <FieldRef ID="{2307576C-A060-4c2d-BABC-34E5A9924667}" Name="Image" />
   <FieldRef ID="{051B830A-8105-4384-9AA1-103CEE43B760}" Name="Email Address" />
  </FieldRefs>
 </ContentType>

It is inherit from Item parent type, and using built-in Title field({fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}), but I found that it's diffcult to remove/hide it.

When in the default list view, there are two Title fields.

So what can I do in the list definition.

Hi Upzone,

To hide Title column please follow below steps.

1) Go to List settings-->Click on Advanced Settings-->Select Allow Management of Content Types=Yes radio button

2) Click on particular content type where title field exists--->click on Title column--->Select Hidden(Will not appear in forms) radio button ---> click on "OK" button

3) Now go to your list and check (by click on new ---Title will not visible) and similarly you uncheck the Title column from Default view(It won't appear in View)

---

Thanks & Regards, Neerubee

Hi,

One possibility is to add between <FieldRefs> and </FieldRefs> following section:

<FieldRef ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" Hidden="TRUE" Required="FALSE" DisplayName="_hidden" />

 

other is to add:

<RemoveFieldRef ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" />

 

ID is default Title field ID, so you just need to copy it.
