Hidden fields in Collect-able forms?

Support
1

Hi:

Anyone know if it's possible to add a hidden prepopulated field to a form
which will be filled and submitted using Collect? AFAICS there doesn't
seem to be a Build option for hidden fields..?

If it's possible, can anyone post a sample or description of how to embed
the hidden field name and value into the form xml?

Thanks
Nik

A hidden prompt is any prompt that exists in the bind or instance, but
doesn't have a corresponding body tag.

In this example, description is hidden. You can still refer to the
description in the form logic, but it will never show up as a prompt
in the UI.

Hidden field Capture the image. Capture the location.
