I would like to hide a field column while editing. The following code works perfectly in pyqgis2.

def fieldVisibility (layer,fname):
  f = layer.editFormConfig()
  for i, column in enumerate(layer.fields()):
    if column.name()==fname:
      f.setWidgetType(i, "Hidden")
        break
    else:
      continue

setWidgetType has been superseded and I don’t know the new expression in pyqgis3.

    @ennine, have you seen this article How can I hide a column in qgis3 using pyqgis. By the way setWidgetType() now only take a string as the first parameter. Access by index has been removed. (source)[qgis.org/api/api_break.html]

  • The new code should be posted as an answer and not edited into the question :)

Following the link mentioned by @Taras, the revise code is as follows:

def fieldVisibility (layer,fname):
  setup = QgsEditorWidgetSetup('Hidden', {})
  for i, column in enumerate(layer.fields()):
    if column.name()==fname:
      layer.setEditorWidgetSetup(idx, setup)
        break
    else:
      continue
