# Removed Sub Fields Support

 * Version 4.0.0 removes support for all sub fields.
 * The issue is that removed fields are not reordered properly when repeaters (including
   flex fields) are re-ordered.
 * I have made several attempts and correcting this issue but all attempts lead 
   to more instability and errors.
 * If you need this functionality for a sub field my suggestion is that you build
   this this functionality specifically for your use-case.

 * Sorry to hear that and I will really miss this feature, as I am using it to hide
   fields in repeater on the frontend form.
 * Hope you will find the solution and it will available again.

 * I can probably add a filter to allow turning it back on but it would not something
   that I would support using.
 * Using this on sub fields of any kind would require the removal of the ability
   to re-order rows and that is not something that I’m going to add to this plugin.

 * That would be great. I have a site where the reordering is not an issue, but 
   I need to keep the site up to date, while I keep few fields fully hidden from
   frontend.
 * I would be happy to see this feature, so if you could put it in into your future
   version that would save my life.
 * Or please send me some instruction to be able to hide fields completely from 
   the frontend, which is very important on my site.
 * Thanks!!!!
