I’m trying to remove, for instance, the “update\_status” portion from  
the form for creating and editing Radiant pages. The example I’m  
working off is:

admin.page.index[:node].delete(‘add\_child\_column’)

but I can’t figure out this syntax in regards to the update\_status  
area since it’s within a partial.

Here is where it is added

app/views/admin/pages/\_fields.html.haml

```
- layout.edit_status do
  %p
    = fields.label :status_id, t('status')
    = fields.select :status_id, status_to_display

```

Any help on removing this during my activate method? Thanks!

By “update\_status” i meant “edit\_status”
