Hide Field but Maintain Control ID


Badge +1

I'm wondering how to do this. I know you can hide a field by setting Visible to No. But by doing this, the ability to give the field a Control ID also disappears. Basically, I need a field that is connected to a SharePoint column. This field needs to be hidden from plain sight. But I need it to have a Control ID so I can populate it with information using jquery. This information will then be used by the workflow to continue with whatever it has to do.

Hi,

You can do so by creating a formatting rule on this field.

Add 1==1 in calculation and select Hide. Hope it helps.

Thanks. That works. Easier to handle instead of going with CSS route - display: none. Have to edit the CSS every time just to be able to see the control again to make changes.
