Removing a Field from the Library (RESOLVED)
RoderickGI:
Very strange. There is no function to hide a field in the Manage Library Fields dialogue. I can click on every field that exists in the MC Library, whether Standard or User fields. I just can't make many changes to the Standard fields. You must be hiding this field in some other place. For reference, see the image. I have no Status field. But there is nowhere to hide a field in this dialogue.
I'm trying to think of anywhere in MC that you can "Hide" something, and the only place I can think of is hiding TV Channels under Television.
I did manage to sort of replicate what you are saying by;
Adding a [Status] field to MC via the "Manage Library Fields" function.
Creating a copy of my Audio/Artists View and adding the [Status] field as a column.
Deleting the [Status] field via the "Manage Library Fields" function.
Going back to my View, the [Status] field is still shown as a column.
Right-clicking on any column in the View [Status] was still included in the list and was ticked.
Unticking the [Status] field and closing the field list.
Right-clicking on any column in the View and scrolling down, the [Status] field is no longer in the list.
So, is that what you were doing? If so, that would be perfectly normal it seems. Deleting a field doesn't remove it from a View. But it does delete the field and all the data the field contained. You have to go in and remove the field from any View it is included in. Once you have done that, it isn't hidden, it is gone. It isn't coming back either.
If the above isn't what was happening for you, could you unhide the Status field and then post an image showing how you would hide it?

You can uncheck Features in Tools > Options > General > Features.
Setting Audio Only mode would also hide some things.

@Jim
I'm confused. You wrote:
"You can uncheck Features in Tools > Options > General > Features"
What did you mean when you wrote that?
When I click Tools>Options>General>Features, I don't see a way to check or uncheck Features. All I see is a list of features, some checked and some unchecked. Did you perhaps forget to add something? (I'm using version 21 here.)

I've done so many things last night and this morning while working with this I can't remember them all. But yes, your description pretty much is how I hid the [Status] field.
Right now I have MC where I can hear whatever I select and I don't see a Status field in my view. Maybe that will change (again)? I hope not.

Just that. Maybe you're running on a client and connected to a server?
