How do you remove a field from a form layout?

• A. Click the X over the field
• B. Drag the field off the form
• C. Right-click and choose Remove Field
• D. Delete the field from the Fields tab

Answer: (A)

When you want to hide a field from a form without removing it from the table, you change the form layout, not the data model. The field stays in the table, but it no longer appears on that specific form. The way to do this is to use the form designer and click the X over the field. That removes the field from the current layout immediately and keeps the field available in the table so you can re-add it later if needed. Other options aren’t the standard approach here: dragging the field off the form isn’t the supported remove action in this editor, right-clicking may not offer a Remove Field option in this context, and deleting the field from the Fields tab would actually remove the field from the table entirely, which affects all forms and data. You can always re-add the field by dragging it back from the Fields list onto the form.
