Manage hidden fields in the builder
Create, rename, or remove the link-context fields a form expects using the current Logic panel.
Select a screenshot to enlarge it.
Steps
- Open Design → Logic → Customize using data → Hidden Fields.
In Design, open Logic → Customize using data to find Hidden Fields and Variables. - Choose + Add new field or a suggested field. Give each field a distinct, simple name.
Definitions identify the fields expected in the respondent URL. Supply harmless URL-encoded values when testing. - Select Save to keep the definitions, or Cancel to discard the dialog’s changes.
- Reopen the dialog to check the saved names. Update distributed links and any dependent rules when renaming a field.
- Test both a populated link and an unpopulated link before publishing dependent logic.
Check before you rely on it
Removing a definition can break existing links or rules even though the form URL itself still opens. Review dependencies first.
If you need help
Do not remove fields from a live form just to troubleshoot missing values. Test a copy or a separate development form.
Contact support with the relevant screen, time, and a redacted description. Keep credentials and private respondent information out of screenshots.
