I have 4 fields on a form that I am passing values using prefill_. This part is working correctly. The user is not logged in. On submit, a new record is correctly created. However, if the fields are hidden they DO NOT save. If they are visible, they do save. Documentation says that hidden fields should save. Any suggestions?
Hi @mpalsf,
My sincere apologies for the inconvenience this has caused. This is a known issue, and our team is already working on resolving it. We’ll make sure to let you know as soon as it’s fixed.
Thank you for your patience!
Hi @mpalsf
I just checked in with our engineering team on this. Specifically for functionality around using “preFill_{FIELD_NAME}”, they are not support with hidden fields. This is a known thing and not something we plan to support at the moment.
May I suggest using either Params or loggedin users details to save the data using hidden fields instead?
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the replies. It would be great to have this implemented. You might want to update your documentation to clarify that this is not functioning. It also is documented in Softr with the suggestion to try an app like Softr for thies feature. It would also be very helpful to enable prefilled read-only fields. There are many time when I’d like to pass in a record id for linking purposes and not have it edited by the user.
Clarification: I meant Airtable documents that this not possible in Airtable forms and to use Softr if that functionality is needed.
Also, how can we track the progress of a change like this.
