# Hide Inaccessible Fields in the Anypoint Studio Debugger

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Configure the Studio debugger to hide inaccessible fields and methods in Mule projects that run on
Java 17 or later. Hiding these items focuses the debugger on data you can access and reduces output
clutter.

You can set these options:

- Hide inaccessible fields:

  Focus on relevant and accessible data to make the debugging process more efficient. Avoid
  accessing fields you can’t interact with.

- Hide public methods invoked to retrieve inaccessible field values:

  Reduce the verbosity of the debugger output. When the debugger can’t directly access a field, it
  attempts to call public methods that can provide the value of that field. If enabled, the debugger
  doesn’t show the method used to retrieve the field value to minimize clutter and noise on the
  screen and make the debugging process cleaner and more focused.

- Use public methods with assignable return types to retrieve inaccessible field values:

  Ensure consistency and predictability in data accessibility and manipulation.
