Hi,<\/p>\n

I am creating a lot of events programmatically. The event creation code sometimes issues warnings or errors. I want to attach those warnings and errors to the event, so that I can review the event before publishing it. The events are created as drafts. In other words, I need somewhere save error messages to each event. <\/p>\n

I’d like to use an Additional Field. The event creation code would write the messages to the field and then I would read through the events, acting on the error messages before publishing the event. The problem is that it seems that Additional Fields are displayed on the event on the front-end by default. Is there any way I can disable that display for a specific Additional Field?<\/p>\n

An alternative would be to use the built-in Word Press custom field functionality which by default does not display on the front-end. The disadvantage with that is that I have to scroll a long way down to find the field, then click the triangle to open it. As I’ll be checking a lot of events, that would be a very laborious process.<\/p>\n

So, in short, can I create an Additional Field, called for example “Import Log” and not have that field display on the calendar front-end?<\/p>\n

Regards,
\nKeith<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1088469","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nCreate an Additional Field that does not appear on the front-end -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/create-an-additional-field-that-does-not-appear-on-the-front-end\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Create an Additional Field that does not appear on the front-end -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi, I am creating a lot of events programmatically.
