Show selected values on frontend but hide them on backend was created by jrodgar

Ok, here is my case

Suppose I have a list of values for a select field. Suppose that that values have a validity, where I don´t want to show on the backend all the possible values (maybe they are obsolete), but I don´t want to lose the selection for the ones I have.

The problem now is that as long as I understand, both the frontend selection and the backend selector, are calculated the same way, with the "Values creation -> Field elements" query. That means that if my query there is something like

Code:

select id as value, name as text from list_values where status='valid'

I will show on the backend only the values I want... but I won´t show either (and I want), to show the selected value on the past.

Unless otherwise indicated:
Joomla 3.8.1
Flexicontent 3.2.1.7

Hello

you can have such a custom behavior only by creating a new field type:

-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
