Magento 2 - How to hide/remove custom attribute from backend product edit page?

Question

I've created a custom attribute yes/no with default value no.

If I update the product with custom attribute value yes then attribute should not be visible on the edit page, if with no value then should be visible.

How can we achieve this?

Thanks!

This is very simple, follow steps below :

• Go to the file

  /vendor/magento/module-catalog/Ui/DataProvider/Product/Form/ProductDataProvider.php
  

• Then you can remove/hide product attribute by function getMeta() in ProductDataProvider.php file on line 67

  public function getMeta()
  {
      $meta = parent::getMeta();
  
      /** @var ModifierInterface $modifier */
      foreach ($this->pool->getModifiersInstances() as $modifier) {
          $meta = $modifier->modifyMeta($meta);
      }
  
      return $meta;
  }
  

• Try code below for hide/remove any attribute you want, you can check condition before hide/remove your attribute for case : (If I update the product with custom attribute value yes then attribute should not be visible on edit page, if with no value then should be visible), my example is price attribute

  unset($meta['product-details']['children']['container_price']['children']['price']);
  

• Full code

  public function getMeta()
  {
      $meta = parent::getMeta();
  
      /** @var ModifierInterface $modifier */
      foreach ($this->pool->getModifiersInstances() as $modifier) {
          $meta = $modifier->modifyMeta($meta);
      }
      //unset price attribute of product
      unset($meta['product-details']['children']['container_price']['children']['price']);
      return $meta;
  }
