Hidden field

  • What is it? A hidden field containing a set value.
  • When should I use it? Hidden fields are most useful when combined with prefills. They are a good way of storing values injected into the form via parameter injection.
  • Example scenarios: 'Case Reference' or 'Easting/Northing'.
