Hide filter for some users

Hello,
I would like to hide some filter options for a certain group of users. My first step is to see if I can hide the filter for everyone. On the "Before display" event of the list page I added:
pageObject.hideItem("filter_panel_field");
I got that code from "?" for the item id field on the designer page. But this doesn't seem to work.
Is there a way to hide certain filters?
Thanks,

This seems to be a bug, we are looking into this. As a workaround, you can use the following in BeforeDisplay event:

xt.assign(""filter_control_ProductID"", false);


Replace ProductID with your field name.

It looks like this is still an issue in the latest build of 10.3, but the workaround is working fine.

We will fix it eventually, not a quick fix, unfortunately. The filter panel is built as a whole and accessing individual filters requires some extra work, even if you see ItemID of individual filter fields in Page Designer.
