Pass Hidden Field as Variable for Logic Calculations

G

Hi 

Does anyone know if it’s possible to use a Hidden field value as part of a logic function? 
Logic calculations only seem to use variables.
So I want to pass a hidden field value to a variable.
But that does not seem possible.
And Hidden Fields do not come up as an option for Logic calculations (Add / Subtract / Multiply)

Thanks!

Gene

Hi @Geneieux Welcome to the community! It isn’t possible to use hidden fields in calculations, I’m afraid. Though, you could use variables in calculations. Do you have any questions on the form in which you could ask for some of the hidden field information to recall into a variable by chance?

Yes I did that as a workaround it's not very elegant but works. Lots of If Then statements for each variable value we want to pass from Hidden field.

It’s not the best, but glad to hear that worked, @Geneieux !
