GNUe Forms doesn't require the detail field to be present in the UI at all.
The master/detail support is handled at our datasource level. The simplest
example that I can think of would be found in
gnue-forms/samples/zipcode/state.gfd
You can see the definition in the two datasource lines
<datasource name="dsstate" cache="15" connection="gnue" order_by="state"
prequery="Y" table="state"/>
<datasource name="dscities" cache="15" connection="gnue" detaillink="state"
master="dsstate" masterlink="state" order_by="city"
table="zipcode"/>
So just remove delete the ui elements you dont want and you should be fine.
Sorry for the late reply.

We're always interested in feedback. Though somtimes it may take a bit before
we are able to act on it.
