Apologies if this is a newbie question. The manage display tab appears to not be functioning correctly. Assigning the label a hidden status has no effect on the visibility of the label on the submission form (ie, the label is still visible in its original location). Similarly, changing the field status to hidden does not result in the field disappearing off the submission form. Am I missing something here, or is this feature not yet operational? Is there a workaround or a way of manually changing some php code to make particularly labels hidden?

@jltware I guess what you running into could be confusing.

Actually what you are changing is for how the submissions are viewed. Not the form it self. There is no way to do this with the form without code.

I would be open to creating another issue for 2.x branch as a feature request to improve the on screen help to explain this.

The functionality you are looking for is not covered in this module. The way entities work in Drupal 7 it would be good idea for another module that would work with all entities but would be pretty difficult. Here is a sandbox project that I think was trying to do something like this: http://drupal.org/sandbox/Artusamak/1796634

If you wanted to do this in custom code you would need to look at these hooks
