How to Remove the ‘Remove’ Column from a NetSuite Sublist View
Learn how to hide the 'Remove' column on a NetSuite sublist when it is based on a custom record type linked to a parent record.
Short answer
The 'Remove' column on a NetSuite sublist view can be hidden if the sublist is based on a custom record type linked to its parent record via a mandatory List/Record field. By setting the linking List/Record field (e.g., custrecord_xx_item) as mandatory under the 'Validation and Defaulting' tab, the 'Remove' column will automatically disappear from the sublist.
Scenario
NetSuite users may observe a 'Remove' column on sublists and seek to hide it for specific custom record types. This column typically appears when a sublist displays records from a custom record type that is linked to a parent record.
Solution
To remove the 'Remove' column from a sublist view in NetSuite, follow these steps:
Ensure the sublist is based on a Custom Record Type.
Identify the List/Record field on the Custom Record Type that links it to the parent record (e.g.,
custrecord_xx_item).Navigate to the definition of this List/Record field.
Under the 'Validation and Defaulting' tab for this field, mark it as mandatory.Once the List/Record field linking the custom record type to its parent is made mandatory, the 'Remove' column will no longer be visible on the sublist view.
