Right - I use this already...but if the fields to display/expose vary depending on selection options, then that needs to be done client-side => JS (unless you want to have a new page brought up after each option which is slow & old-style) > There is possibly a better way in trunk > db.table.field.writable=False (it will disable the field from all > forms) I agree that this seems easier to maintain as usually it will be just a few fields to hide & you don't want to have to adjust the exposes/ displays each time you add a new field. However it doesn't help with this issue at all, I don't think.
