# Move, rename and remove fields

{% hint style="success" %}
This is the official documentation of the `forestadmin/laravel-forestadmin` v2+ and `forestadmin/symfony-forestadmin` PHP agents.
{% endhint %}

When building your admin panel, you will probably want to hide as much complexity from your users as you can.

This includes:

* Hiding technical and confidential fields
* Using naming conventions that the final user understands.

## Moving fields

You can import fields from [single record relationships](https://docs.forestadmin.com/developer-guide-agents-php/agent-customization/relationships/single-record) into your collections.

The imported fields will behave as if they were on that collection.

```php
use ForestAdmin\AgentPHP\DatasourceCustomizer\CollectionCustomizer;

// Assuming the following structure:
// User    { id, firstName, lastName, addressId }
// Address { id, streetName, streetNumber, city, countryId }
// Country { id, name }

$forestAgent->customizeCollection(
    'User',
    function (CollectionCustomizer $builder) {
        $builder->importField('city', ['path' => 'address:city', 'readonly' => true])
            ->importField('country', ['path' => 'address:country:name', 'readonly' => true]);
    }
);
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that when using `readonly: false`, the referenced record fields can be edited.
{% endhint %}

## Renaming and removing fields and relations

Renaming and removing fields or relations can be done simply by calling the `renameField` and `removeField` methods.

```php
use ForestAdmin\AgentPHP\DatasourceCustomizer\CollectionCustomizer;

$forestAgent->customizeCollection(
    'User',
    function (CollectionCustomizer $builder) {
        $builder->renameField('account_v3_uuid_new', 'account')->removeField('password');
    }
);
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
Renamed and removed fields are renamed and removed ONLY in the admin panel.

In your code:

* Removed fields are still accessible (for instance, as dependencies to compute new fields)
* Renamed fields must still be referred to by using their original name.
