is there any reason why this works in 1.0: <https://netsuite.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/46064/kw/newmessage/related/1>
whilst
```define(['N/record','N/runtime'], function(record,runtime) {

   function beforeLoad(context) {

      var form = context.form;
      form.removeButton('newmessage'); 
      
    return true;
   }

  return {
    beforeLoad:beforeLoad
  };
});```
doesn't work as 2.x? (I deployed it on the quotation record and it didn't hide as the button)

removeButton is an undocumented method of <https://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_N3161033.html|nlobjSubList>

If you search "Button IDs" in help the one you're trying to remove is not on the list of buttons you can remove.  <@UHFES4MQQ>

so does that mean for sublist buttons we need to use 1.0?

```const beforeLoad = (scriptContext) =&gt; {
        //create an inline html field
        var hideFld = scriptContext.form.addField({
                id:'custpage_hide_buttons',
                label:'not shown - hidden',
                type: serverWidget.FieldType.INLINEHTML
        });
        //for every button you want to hide, modify the scr += line
        var scr = "";
       // scr += 'jQuery("#print").hide();';
        scr += 'jQuery("#attach").hide();';
        //scr += 'jQuery("#addcontact").hide();';

        //push the script into the field so that it fires and does its handy work
        hideFld.defaultValue = "&lt;script&gt;jQuery(function($){require([], function(){" + scr + ";})})&lt;/script&gt;"
}```
