Like I said in my reply, this would be the alternative:

"Ok I stand corrected EditedObject is not available as a macro in v7. You can access it via code using CMSContext.EditedObject so maybe make a custom macro method."

Use the EditedObject vs. CurrentDocument context. CurrentDocument is only available on the edit or design tabs or live site. Use EditedObject in on the form tab.

Does not work for me. Is EditedObject the DocumentName of the page? I've also tried: {% EditedObject.NodeAliasPath.Contains("/page") |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%} and EditedObject.cmscontext.currentdocument.documentname|(equals)pagename

If you're doing it for an INSERT or a NEW page it won't work properly because there is no page or document name YET. This will only work with a page you've already created. For a new page your best bet is to use a class name, site name, or node alias path.

This is the correct syntax in the visibility field
{% EditedObject.DocumentName == "my name" |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

Yes This is for a page already created. More specifically, we created two blogs on the same site. So we're trying to remove a field (we created), from showing on the second blog in the cmsdesk. The first blog remains as is but we don't need that field for the other blog.

We attempted {% EditedObject.DocumentName == "Blog2" |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%} and other methods and variations with no luck so far

Then use EditedObject.NodeAliasPath.Contains("/Blog-2")

What version is this? Guessing 7 based on the "cmsdesk" reference. Should still work I believe.

yes. This is K7. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Would it matter if the Alias path contains brackets? /History-(1) I don't think that would matter.

If it helps. This works. So if only it can be narrowed down to the blog name: Visible condition: CurrentSite.SiteName == "xxx.com"

Ok I stand corrected EditedObject is not available as a macro in v7. You can access it via code using CMSContext.EditedObject so maybe make a custom macro method. CurrentDocument does not exist but you can get a NodeID or a DocumentID via the URL parameter. Might check with Kentico Support to see if there is a macro to get the document properties while in the form tab in v7.

Support says it's not supported by K7 like you said. :( Is there an alternative method you can suggest - so that we achieve the same result?
