When you have a list, and you want to configure the search options selecting the available searchable fields on the list config (Fields to search), there is a problem. IF you don´t have the field configured as "show on profile",it will not appear on the search options of the list, even if the field is set as SEARCHABLE on configuration.

I tried to solve this situation using the conditional integration, because I dont want that field to be shown on the profile to all the users and I found another problem. There is no option on the conditionals to hide a field or tab only for specific group of users, so me as a super user cant see the hidden field, it will be hidden for everyone. I know that I can use a tab with only super user access to place that field but I think that the option of access level for conditionals and fields would be useful to avoid complications and extend the functionality.

Also I think that if a field is set as searchable it must be available for search even if is not configured to appear on profile.Thanks!

PD: Would be nice to add list categories to select when you turn on the " LIST SELECTOR" option. That would help avoid to show ALL the site lists when you just want some to be shown.

You can set field to show on profile and just place it in a tab that is set to a non show on profile position.
