Pro Tip: You can also replace the custom edit name with just a single space, and almost every customizable field will not be visible. I use this trick a lot to hide the edit button in a grid, the field title on a portal, the field title for buttons on forms, and collapsed section headers to “hide” a group of fields.

I hadn’t thought of that, I must do some experimentation… thanks for the tip!
