Sitecore: hiding fields in content editor?

Question

I'm part of a team building a website in Sitecore. We've added a template field whose value we want to hide from content editors.

(the field contains extra CSS classes for a page so we can target styles at specific pages. Not best-practice - we should put it in code - but it has its advantages when the site is in production.)

Any way to do hide specific fields in the Sitecore content editor?

Cheers

Answer 1

You should restrict Field Read access to the field (so not Read access)

Answer 2

Ruud's got the ticket, I think. Just to tack a little bit on to his answer, and because I wasn't sure how to do this myself the first time I worked w/ field-level security, select the Columns button in the toolbar to show the Field Read & Field Write options in the Security Editor.
