Show or Hide Fields on Trello Cards
See it in action: create a board from Amazing Fields Features Template.
Amazing Fields lets you control which fields appear on a Trello card. This helps keep cards clean and ensures only relevant information is shown.
You can control field visibility in three different ways depending on your workflow.
Choose visible fields on a card
You can manually choose which fields appear on an individual card. To do this:
- Open a card.
- In the Amazing Fields section of the card, click "Visible Fields."
- Select which fields to display. You can show all fields, hide all fields, or choose specific fields.
Tip: This works well when creating card templates. For example, you might create different templates for different types of work and configure each template to show only the relevant fields.
Hide a field by default
Fields can also be hidden by default. This is useful for fields that are rarely used and only apply to certain cards, such as card templates.
To hide a field by default:
- Open Amazing Fields Settings by clicking the Amazing Fields icon in the top-right corner of the board.
- Go to the field settings for the field you want to configure.
- Enable "Hide field on new cards by default."
The field will remain hidden unless it is manually shown or displayed through a visibility rule.
Show fields using formulas
This feature requires an Amazing Fields paid plan. See plans and pricing for more details.
You can also control field visibility automatically using formulas. This allows a field to appear only when certain conditions are met. To do this:
- Open Amazing Fields Settings by clicking the Amazing Fields icon in the top-right corner of the board.
- Go to the field settings for the field you want to configure.
- Enable "Compute field visibility using a formula" and formula.
The visibility formula runs the first time a value is set. The Hide field on cards by default setting determines whether the field appears initially.
Below are a few examples:
When another field contains a specific value or condition
When a card moves to a specific list
