If you wish to hide only in list you can use:

showIn: { all: true, list: false }

or

showIn: { list: false } // all: true is by default already

validation?​

optional validation: ValidationObject[]

 showIn: {
   [AdminForthResourcePages.edit]: false,
   [AdminForthResourcePages.create]: false,
   [AdminForthResourcePages.filter]: false,
 },
 components: {
   show: '@@/CountryFlag.vue',
   list: '@@/CountryFlag.vue',
  },
}

This field will be displayed in show and list views with custom component CountryFlag.vue. CountryFlag.vue should be placed in custom folder and can be next:

<template>
 {{ getFlagEmojiFromIso(record.ipCountry) }}
</template>

<script setup>
const props = defineProps(['record']);

function getFlagEmojiFromIso(iso) {
   return iso.toUpperCase().replace(/./g, (char) => String.fromCodePoint(char.charCodeAt(0) + 127397));
}
</script>
