Hide Fields on a template

Is it possible to hide fields on a template?  Perhaps by using javascript?  I am new to the Salesforce platform but I know it can be done in Dynamics so I understand the concept.  Based on some condition a field's visibility property is either turned on or turned off.

No this is not possible.  However, you can control field-level access using Field level security,  Else you can use record type and assign different layouts to different profiles.

Sorry, my question was not clear.  I am working with a Page Layout, not an email template. I want to hide a field on a page layout.

Hi Pat, 


If you're using salesforce lightning, then have a look at Dynamic forms - https://admin.salesforce.com/blog/2019/break-up-your-record-details-with-dynamic-forms
It does allow you to do what you intend to. 


Hope this helps!
