I would like a way to set fields to be hidden (in a similar way that Visibility Expressions can be used to show fields).

I don't think this is possible at the moment because the customiser doesn't accept ‘NOT EQUAL’ (as below) or conditional AND/OR expressions

$W("VISIBILITY-TEST")!="WANT2HIDE" 

If you want to show a field on 3 of 4 options then I think you have you create the hidden field 3 times. Adding specific, positive visibility expressions to each. 

 

It would probably make a great feature request though. It would get my vote.

The attached is an approach I have used to base the visibility of one field based on the values selected in multiple custom fields. 

It is a workaround ‘for now’ for the issue of not being able to use logic in visibility expressions in the customizer.
