Hi,

As everyone said,

You can use Business Rule to Show/hide the field as shown below:

CreatedOn does not contains data refer to "Create" mode.

Another way is to use the JAVSCRIPT as shown below:

function showHideField() {
var formContext=executionContext.getFormContext();

if(formContext.ui.getFormType() == 1) {
formContext.getControl('fieldname').setVisible(false);
}
else {
formContext.getControl('fieldname').setVisible(true);
}
}

Thanks,
Pradeep.

Please mark this as VERIFIED if it helps

After inserting the field into the form, when creating a record, it is shown as:

When updating an existing record, it is shown as:

Write Codition as
