Code snippet that can be used to hide a field in node edit form in Drupal 8.
use "hook_form_alter" to hide the particular form field:
<?php
/**
* @param $form
* @param $form_state
* @param $form_id
*/
function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
if ($form_id == 'contenttypename_node_form') {
$form['your_field_name']['#access'] = 0;
}
}
or use this:
$form['your_field_name']['#access'] = FALSE;
or if you want to show field based on role use:
$current_user = \Drupal::currentUser();
$roles = $current_user->getRoles();
$form['your_field_name']['#access'] = in_array('editor', $roles);
