Hello. On the main card, there is 1 field on the front side, and 3 fields on the backside. How do I make sure that only 2 fields are shown on the reverse card on the front side?

I am grateful to the person who answered

Edit card \> Cards \> Select Card type \> Delete the fields you don’t want from the front template.
