Add hidden fields on all forms

[thisisjamessmith]

How can we help you?

Does anyone know of a way to add a collection of hidden fields to all forms? I know I can do it easily on a form-by-form basis, but when you have lots of forms this is impractical. I'm using a semi-manual rendering process, so outputting the actual hidden fields and their values into the form is straightforward - I need to get those values into the submissions without them necessarily existing in the FF form layout, or find a way to automate the insertion of those hidden fields as real FF fields.

Hi @thisisjamessmith

Is there some sort of common use for what you're trying to do? For example, URL tracking parameters?
https://docs.solspace.com/craft/freeform/v5/guides/guide/passing-dynamic-data-to-forms/#url-tracking-parameters

If this is the case, we might be able to make some sort of "integration" that could be enabled (and enabled by default) for forms. 🙂

Yep good guess! That's exactly what I'm doing. We store the actual values in session storage so that they persist across page loads (the landing page that a visitor arrives on won't necessarily have a form on it), so not as simple as populating inputs directly from the GET params.

Sorry for the delay... I will consider this a FR that we'll look into shortly. 🙂

Just letting you know that this was added in Freeform 5.12+ as an integration 🙂

Hi @kjmartens,

Thank you for introducing this great feature! Could you please clarify whether it can be used with GraphQL / Headless setup (by passing values in mutation) or via AJAX, without using twig template?

@Stalex89 we've added support for this in GraphQL / headless in Freeform 5.15.1+ 🙂
