How to hide fields on the view part of the Grails CRUD dynamic scaffolding?

Solution

I would disagree with Gregg's comment above. Scaffolding is very helpful in reducing unnecessary code.

Add a constraint called `display:false` to that property in your domain class, i.e,

static constraints { 
   password display: false
}

This will hide the property for you when scaffolding.

Problem

I was wondering if there is another way of making a certain field of a domain to not appear in the views pages of the dynamic scaffolding capability of Grails? I can execute the `generate-all` command on the domain and edit the view myself but I was just wondering if there is a way for me to still take advantage of the dynamic scaffolding capability. I just want to not show the password field on the `show` and `edit` views of my user domain.
