Specifies fields to exclude from the extraction output. For example, if you use the field ID _raw_data as a source for a computed field, then specify the raw field's ID in this method to show only the computed field in the output.

Parameters

The following parameters are in the computed field's global Method parameter:

key	value	description
id (required)	`suppressOutput`
source_ids (required)	array of field ids in the current config	The id of the fields to exclude from the extraction output. In advanced use cases, configure field execution order to prevent unintential null output from other computed field methods. For an example, see Zip sections example.

The following example shows suppressing a raw "driver's name" field and outputting the split last name.

Config

{
  "fields": [
    {
      "id": "_driver_name_first_last_raw",
      "anchor": "name of driver",
      "method": {
        "id": "label",
        "position": "below"
      }
    }
  ],
  "computed_fields": [
    {
      "id": "driver_name_last",
      "method": {
        "id": "split",
        "source_id": "_driver_name_first_last_raw",
        "separator": " ",
        "index": 1
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "hide_fields",
      "method": {
        "id": "suppressOutput",
        "source_ids": [
          "_driver_name_first_last_raw"
        ]
      }
    }
