I have found two possibilities:

1. Use a Localization token as title. You can create one with a " " (space) as a value and choose this one as Title

2. Export the Mashup to .xml and set the title to " " and import the .xml again. If you edit the configuration again via mashup builder it will remove the space again

I assume the 1st one would be the "best" one.

Yes 1st way works fine but if we export the localization table and import the table in other servers  the token value is changed to undefined instead of blank space ' '. It spoils the grid functionalities.

ah **bleep** 😕 Would need to create the token in the instance than manualy? or via a service maybe? But yeah.. all workarounds. I do not like it. I did not find a other way. Maybe just use a "." or so as title. 

Other idea: Not sure if via customCSS you could change visibility of a specific column?

You might be able to do this using the grid configuration JSON, but it is a lot of work.

 

 

{
 "targets": target,
 "fieldName": fieldName,
 "title": '',
 "width": width,
 "autoWidth": false,
 "overflow": "ellipsis",
 "headerTextAlignment": "center",
 "textAlignment": "center",
 }

 

Something like this for your column definitions.

 

Best regards,

Plenty of work🥺🤧. We are having many columns in the grid and lots of state formating in the grid columns
