Hide/ Remove the line item properties on order details page

Topic summary

Main issue: Hide or remove line item properties from the Shopify admin order details page.

Key points:

  • Line item properties = custom key–value fields attached to items in an order. Liquid = Shopify’s storefront templating language (does not control the admin UI).
  • Suggestion given to modify Liquid files, but this only affects storefront/customer views, not the admin order page.
  • Clarification: Prefixing a property with an underscore hides it from checkout and customer order pages, but it still appears in the admin. Hiding it in admin likely isn’t supported because it can be needed for fulfillment.
  • A user using an app has underscored properties and wants them hidden in admin or removable manually, seeking a concrete solution.

Outcomes/decisions:

  • No confirmed method to hide or remove line item properties from the admin order page via theme code.
  • No alternative (settings/app/API) solution was provided in the thread.

Status: Unresolved. Open questions remain about whether there’s any supported way (e.g., app, API, or workflow) to omit or clean up these properties in admin.

Hi,

Hello

yes this can do but for that we need to mdify the code in the liquid file.

Hi Ankit23,

If this is a hidden line item (where you an underscore to the beginning of) this shouldn’t appear on the checkout or on order pages that customer would see. However I don’t think it’s possible to hide it on the actual admin order page, as it could be required for order fulfilment or to inform the merchant about order details. Curious what your use case is here?

Hi @Liam ,

I used an app and it added some properties with “_”. I understand that it doesn’t show on checkout page, but I don’t want it show on order admin, or it can be removed manually.

Do you have any solution to hide it on order admin page? thank you
