I sometimes want the use to be able to provide a username but not the hostname during installations. I need a way to hide the hostname field.

Describe any alternatives you've considered.

I'm not sure I fully understand the use case. I suspect you're using an autoinstall.yaml that looks something like this

version: 1
interactive-sections:
  - identity
identity:
  realname: ""
  username: ""
  password: ""
  hostname: ubuntu

which would run the semi-automated UI flow that shows the identity page with the hostname pre-filled like this:

If I understand correctly you'd like to be able to hide the hostname field here, is that correct?

Yes thats what im saying. Tried doing an install where the user only needs to create their user account. There is a naming convention i have to follow for the hostname.
