How to add hidden fields?

[fountainer]

I want to hide some fields, e.g, volume, number, pages, notes. I tried the following code.

  (push "volume" ebib-hidden-fields)

However, the volume filed is still in the entry buffer. How should I use the ebib-hidden-fields?

The code should work, but I suspect you don't see its effect because it's executed too early. Wrapping it inside a with-eval-after-load should do the trick:

(with-eval-after-load 'ebib
  (push "volume" ebib-hidden-fields))

I put the (push "volume" ebib-hidden-fields) in the :config section in use-package. It does not work. I also try the code

(with-eval-after-load 'ebib
  (push "volume" ebib-hidden-fields))

The issue still exists. I checked the value of ebib-hidden-fields

("volume" "addendum" "afterword" "annotator" "archiveprefix" "bookauthor" "booksubtitle" "booktitleaddon" "chapter" "commentator" "edition" "editora" "editorb" "editorc" "eid" "eprint" "eprintclass" "eprinttype" "eventdate" "eventtitle" "foreword" "holder" "howpublished" "introduction" "isbn" "isrn" "issn" "issue" "issuesubtitle" "issuetitle" "issuetitleaddon" "journaltitleadddon" "journalsubtitle" "language" "location" "mainsubtitle" "maintitle" "maintitleaddon" "month" "origlanguage" "pagetotal" "part" "primaryclass" "remark" "subtitle" "timestamp" "titleaddon" "translator" "urldate" "venue" "version" "volumes")

Note that hidden fields are still shown when they have a value. There is currently no mechanism to hide fields when they have a value.
