Hi Lazau.

Wow, that's a new one. Most questions regarding fieldtype is usually about adding fieldtypes, not removing. For all I know, there is not built in configuration for removing the standard fieldtypes without some "hacky" coding. It does sound however like a useful config that would be nice to have in the /App_Plugins/UmbracoForms/UmbracoForms.config file, something like:
```
<setting key="DisableFieldTypes" value="fileUpload,somethingelse" />
```
But this is however not a valid setting at the monent. Maybe you could add it as a feature request on http://issues.umbraco.org? (Make sure to label you post 'Feature Request' and not 'Bug')

However, if this is something that you really want right now, here is the hacky solution (note, I dont recommend this since future Umbraco Forms upgrades might override this, but I do understand that sometimes one needs to take extreme actions to fit a clients need):

Find this file: /App_Plugins/UmbracoForms/Backoffice/Form/overlays/fieldtypepicker/field-type-picker.html.

In the LI element repeater, add the following angular conditional class (line 22).
```
ng-class="{hide: fieldType.name == 'File upload'}"
```
This will add the class 'hide' to the field type File Upload, making it not visible. See animation:

As I said, this is not a pretty solution, but it works. A setting in a configuration file would be a lot prettier or some way of removing fieldtypes by adding a custom class of some sort could also work, but for all I know, thats not possible.

All the best / Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Thanks a lot for answering, and for answering in this manner (like the super complete answer).

I need this "hacky" code because of this

Have a nice day!

Hi Florin,

another option could be installing our package Forms On Steroids (https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/umbraco-forms-on-perplex-steroids/) that has this option configurable in a config-file. Per datatype you can decide whether to have it available or not

Cheerio,

Jeffrey

Ah, brilliant. :)

I do love "Umbraco Forms on Perplex Steroids" and use it in most of the solutions I build, however i've seem to have missed this feature.

Sometimes it feels like everytime a question starts with "Can I do ... with Umbraco Forms?", 9/10 time the answer is "Yes, if you install Perplex Steroids". :)

Thank you for an awesome package Jeffrey!

Hi Guys!

Since this was posted before Umbraco 8 I figured I'll share my findings in regards to Umbraco Forms 8+.

In the updated version they use "BuilderCollections" which makes it possible to modify Workflows, FieldTypes and more during Composition.

Ie:

[ComposeAfter(typeof(UmbracoFormsComposer))]
public class MySiteComposer : IUserComposer
{
    public void Compose(Composition composition)
    {
        // Workflows
        composition.WithCollectionBuilder<WorkflowCollectionBuilder>().Clear();
        composition.WithCollectionBuilder<WorkflowCollectionBuilder>().Add<ContactTargetWorkflow>();

        // Field types
        composition.WithCollectionBuilder<FieldCollectionBuilder>().Exclude<Recaptcha2>();
    }
}

When I first tested this my Composer did not have the ComposeAfter-attribute, but after adding this it worked fine.

[ComposeAfter(typeof(UmbracoFormsComposer))]

Apart of these two collection there's also some other UmbracoForms-collections that can be modified during Composition:

composition.WithCollectionBuilder<DataSourceCollectionBuilder>()
composition.WithCollectionBuilder<ExportCollectionBuilder>()
composition.WithCollectionBuilder<FieldPreValueSourceCollectionBuilder>()
composition.WithCollectionBuilder<RecordSetActionCollectionBuilder>()

There is also an issue for this on Github: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco.Forms.Issues/issues/61

Hope this helps anyone trying to accomplish the this.

Hi Markus,

Thank you very much for this! Do you also know if it is possible to set the the "HideField"-property of the build-in fieldtypes to true? I want t hide all buildin fieldtypes but they are already used in some existing forms.

Best regards,

iNETZO

Hi!

Hmm, I really don’t know, maybe it would work to create classes that inherits from them add these to the collections and remove the original once. I really don’t have a good answer. Sorry.

Cheers!
