How to display only certain fields from data source in table for dashboard studio?

Hello,

I have been building a dashboard in dashboard studio and was looking for some help wrt implementing the fields option in XML dashboard in dashboard studio

If my panel in XML dashboard has like 5 fields and I want to display only 3 in the table, we can use this

<fields>[field1,field2,field3]</fields>

However when I download the panel results, I will still be able to view all the 5 fields with this

I am looking to do something same in dashboard studio and I am not able to get the functionality. I have tried using header option in Table option and didn't get any success.

{

"type": "splunk.table",

"options": {

"tableFormat": {

"headerBackgroundColor": "#0E6162",

"rowBackgroundColors": "> table | seriesByIndex(0) | pick(tableAltRowBackgroundColorsByBackgroundColor)",

"rowColors": "> rowBackgroundColors | maxContrast(tableRowColorMaxContrast)",

"headerColor": "> headerBackgroundColor | maxContrast(tableRowColorMaxContrast)"

"backgroundColor": "#ffffff",

"table": "> [\"field1\",\"field2\"]", -> didnt work

"headers": "> table | getField([\"field1\",\"field2\"])", -> didnt work

"showInternalFields": false

"dataSources": {

"primary": "ds_TlbXBz5i"

"context": {},

"showProgressBar": false,

"showLastUpdated": false

}

Hi, I was going to reply and ask if you ever solved this, but I just did myself.

Name your field _something and untick "show hidden fields". By default the only hidden field that shows is _time, doing this effectively hides your other fields.
