I have a page’s section I want to hide from list pages but this [Build Options | Hugo](https://gohugo.io/content-management/build-options/) is not working (tried in `_index.md` file). How do I go about it? I want to hide both the taxonomy list and the pages from appearing in any list.

It seems some changes require disabling fast render to work. Solved

Though, it seems this does not apply to individual files since they still show up in lists.

You need to enter the build options within the cascade table for children to inherit what’s entered in the Section’s `_index.md`.

```auto
[cascade]
[cascade._build]
list = false

```
