In my survey, I have set up a hidden field called 'surveyflag'. There is a multi choice in the survey. My question is: Can I set a value for each of the two options, such as Option A = 1, Option B = 2, and then pass the value to the hidden field when the survey is submitted?

Pass option's value to hidden field

- q1_text = DVD
it’s already available to the API
if you want to pass it as a variable, you simply need to create a custom variable NOT a hidden variable
tthen you use the logic rules to replace the value of the variable you create with the output from the question choice
here’s an example:
you can create the variable (i used v_example) and used the replace function to set the value of the variable with the hardcoded text line
you would have to do this with every option - ie create a logic rule
you don’t need to do this if you can pass the question_text/choice name pair from the submit function

Are you sending the data from the hidden field out of the survey? Or are you trying to have the hidden field value captured with their response in the Typeform results?

If you are passing the data from an external source (ie CRM/ESP) and you want to pass in, for example, the email of a subscriber, you would do that in the url with the name=value in the url. in the typeform, you would create a hidden variable called the same name as in your url string and it would act as the recipient of the data value.
on submit, both the answers to questions AND a hidden variable passed into the form are recorded

I forgot to mention that because I have set up a webhook, the API needs to receive the same field name’s result. That's why I set up a hidden field in the survey first and tried to populate the hidden field with the user's response when they submit the survey and send it to the API. I apologize for not explaining clearly earlier and causing confusion.

Hi, all-
I’m new here, so I hope that you will see this tag-on to an older thread.
I want to do a survey, as follows: I have 45 questions, each question has two possible answers, and the respondent has to pick one of the two possible answers. Each answer falls into one of six categories.However, when respondents choose an answer, I don't want them to know the category that answer falls into, so I want to assign a category to each of the answers, but have that category be invisible to the respondent. Then, after the respondent has responded to all 45 questions, I want to be able to tally up how many answers fall into each of the six categories, for that respondent.
Based on this thread, it looks like I can do that with a variable. But I’m not sure if the respondent will be able to see the variable. Is the variable invisible to the respondent?
If it is visible, how do I pass along the needed data invisibly in Typeform? And is that capacity available at the Basic level?
Thanks!

- if q1 = A then add 1 to v_category1
- if q1 = B then add 1 to v_category2
- etc
then you can display the results use the @variable name syntax
