Use a hidden field to store a value that needs to be submitted with the form data but that not be visible on the form. The value can be set in the field's own default function, or updated using the handler of another field.
Properties
| Label | Description | Type Name |
|---|---|---|
| Default Value | The field's hidden default value | VALUE |
| Default Function | A JavaScript function that can be used to calculate the default field value. This function is executed server-side when the field HTML is generated and is useful when the DEFAULT property is insufficient | DEFFUNC |
| Searchable | Whether this field's value should be indexed by the search (the object collection if using the database save action and/or workflow process collection if starting a workflow process). This property is ignored if an External Type is specified for the form. In this case, the ability to search is determined by the searchable property of the type itself | SEARCHABLE |
| Show in Read Only | Whether the field's value should be shown when the form is being rendered in any of the various read only modes (for examples, in emails that haven't been templated) | SHOWREADONLY |
| Read Only Label | If the field is being displayed in a read only mode, this will be used as the field's label | READONLYLABEL |
| Documentation | Add documentation to your field to help explain any complex functionality to future users. You might include information on what the field does and how it relates to other fields on the form. Notes added here are only ever visible in the Forms Designer, they can be searched for, viewed and downloaded from the action panel. See Common Field Properties for an example | DOCUMENTATION |
