Hide content-type in list of collections only

Discord Q&A strapi-questions

Hi everyone, is it possible to hide a content-type in the list of collections? I have a content-type that holds category items that should not be modified nor seen but they should still be selectable in another content-type where they are referenced.

If I restrict the category content-type in the role settings (no read access), then instead of displaying the catgories, the drop-down does only show numbers.

With

"pluginOptions": { "content-manager": { "visible": false } }

the Content Type seems to be “disabled” instead of just hidden. I want authors to be able to select the categories without seeing them as a content-type in the collection list.

Appreciating any help!

Hey you can do

pluginOptions: {
‘content-manager’: {
visible: false,
},
‘content-type-builder’: {
visible: false,
},
},

on for the cm and one for the ctb depending on your need

if you just want them in the cm you should be able to just use the ctb option
