I only want the ref id to display. 4.0.7 did not display the component value.
In the layers manager, switch over to the “Items” tab. Here you can turn off values. Then when you export your gerbers, you can also turn off the values in the gerber export as well.
Hope this resolves your issue.

Maybe! I’ve gotten lost in the nightlies and what feature was in what version.
With V5.0 in Escheema, open the menu “Tools/Edit Symbol Fields…”.
I’ve been using the “~” (tilde) character in most fields instead of a blank space; other forum users have reported no problems with just leaving it blank. However I have long term computer issues with WinDoze that did not recognize the ASCII code 32 in it’s earlier file systems.
To me, the tilde can inform the software that this field is intentionally left blank by the user.
Is there a way to control the how Footprint Val** is shown in PCBnew? In the 4.0.7 layout only the Ref** indentifier was displayed. In 5.0, both the Ref** and the Val** are displayed in the F.silks.
