08/24/2023, 9:15 PMI just discovered that I can use `except_on: [:new] `and it does not throw an error. However, it does not work (the field still shows up!)

08/24/2023, 9:21 PM> you may use the visibility helpers hide_on, show_on, only_on, and except_on methods. Available options for these methods are: :create, :edit, :index, :show, :forms
