I'm sorry I am still confused* ; if the requirement is to be able to see a field on the list view but not on the create&edit view - this is easily done, but not by making the field "hidden", just by not placing on the create&edit views.
Further control about whether a field can be seen on the list view can also be achieved by various security options.
* - I am confused because you seem to be concerned with the setting of the various flags in Clarity ("hidden", "value required") and not what the actual requirement is?
