Magento2 admin grid ui component form hide multiple fields based on php condition

Question

I have so many fields in my admin grid form which made using UI component. I want to hide some of the fields using php condition. I know that it can done using DataProvider file and I also followed this thread Disabling a UI component field upon condition in Magento 2.

But it didn't work for me. Did any one has done this before having any idea/solution apart from this?

Please guide. That would be really handy.

Thanks,

• Dharmendra Jadav: could you please post your code.
• Pratik Navapara: @DharmendraJadav. Thanks for your quick response. I won't mind pasting code here but it is similar to the one which is written in the reference thread. There are many fields in admin grid form and I want to hide few based on php condition. Still, if you want then I'll paste my code of the specific file which you want to see. Let me know. Thanks.

Override getMeta function in your dataprovider and set value like this.

my form.xml

 <fieldset name="fieldset_name"> 
 <field name="attribute_id">
 <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="options" xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Model\Source\Attributes</item>
 <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="dataType" xsi:type="string">text</item>
 <item name="formElement" xsi:type="string">select</item>
 <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Attribute</item>
 <item name="component" xsi:type="string">Vendor_Module/js/form/element/select-option</item> 
 <item name="dataScope" xsi:type="string">attribute_id</item>
 <item name="componentType" xsi:type="string">select</item>
 <item name="validation" xsi:type="array">
 <item name="required-entry" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
 </item>
 </item>
 </argument>
 </field>
</fieldset>

My DataProvide.

public function getMeta()
 { 
 $meta = parent::getMeta();
 $id = $this->request->getParam('id');
 if(<<Your Condition>>){
 $meta['fieldset_name']['children']['attribute_id']['arguments']['data']['config']['disabled'] = 1;
 }
 return $meta;
 }

I have disable form field using this. It's work fine. you can try.

If you still any query let me know.

• Pratik Navapara: Hello @Dharmendra. You are a life saver. This solution worked like a charm. Not fully but I just wanted some hint and I got it from your code. I have just changed a little bit in getMeta() function. I have used ['visible'] = 1 or 0 instead of ['disabled']. Thanks a lot.
• Dharmendra Jadav: "I have used ['visible'] = 1 or 0 instead of ['disabled']", That's why i am asking about the code.
• Pratik Navapara: Hello @Dharmendra. I think you just misunderstood me. Earlier, I have not used code which you posted recently. I just informed you that I have used visible property in the code you provided. Otherwise, your code works fine. Cheers!
• Mage2 Beginner: I am getting empty array when print meta in this fuction

I have a disabled fieldset in add new form based on entity_id

add the following code in your data provider class

public function getMeta()
 {
 $meta = parent::getMeta();
 $id = $this->request->getParam('entity_id');
 if(isset($id)){
 $meta['fieldset_name']['arguments']['data']['config']['visible'] = 1;
 }
 else{
 $meta['fieldset_name']['arguments']['data']['config']['visible'] = 0;
 }
 return $meta;
 }
