Hi Richard, If hideDisplay is set to true in the MartEditor XML then it definitely should not appear in MartView but it is still available for for the API, MartService calls etc. The difference from hidden is that setting this to true stops the attribute appearing in MartView and being available to the BioMart API/Services. The only point of hidden attributes and filters is to stop them reappearing everytime you do a config update in MartEditor.
If the attribute definitely has hideDisplay set to true (note it should be true and not 1) and is still appearing in MartView after running perl configure.pl --clean -r conf/reg.xml and restarting the server then this is probably a MartEditor bug. Let me know and I can come and find you and fix it. Cheers Damian On Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 2:11 PM, Richard Cote <rc...@ebi.ac.uk> wrote: > Hi Damian > > I did exactly that but it appeared in martview.
