Filtering results using a hidden field

Hi,

Is there any way I can filter results by hidden field?
I populate the hidden field with customer’s company name, and I have multiple customers.

in some cases I want to be able to analyse the responses made by a specific company.

 

Thanks!

Hi @Eladvolman It isn’t possible to filter by hidden fields yet, but I know the product team is working on improvements to the table. I don’t have any specifics as to when/if that might happen, but in the meantime, you could use the Google Sheets integration to narrow down by hidden fields.

Hi @Liz is there any update/discussion on this feature?

Right now I’m planning to use the `query` parameter to filter on a specific hidden field value, but since it also looks for every answer I might get false positives that I would need to filter a second time on my side.

 

Thank you!

Two years passed since original question and it is still not possible to filter by field?

Any suggestion for any workarounds? Like maybe there is some kind of way to set tags by hidden field provided?

Hi @uniqusername While we haven’t built this feature, I’d definitely suggest integrating your forms with Google Sheets! This would allow you to filter your results exactly as you’d like for any field.

Is this feature not implemented yet?

We want to send a single form to multiple customers and multiple events.

Since we can pass hidden field values to forms, why on earth are e not able to filter results using that same hidden field?

 

This is a no brainer feature!

@yiureiuyirueytre - have you considered connecting your form(s) to Google Sheet? that way the data is captured there as well as in Typeform and you have much more capability at your fingers to sort and filter the data in Sheets

just a thought
