Issue
- I have a form with 2 fields:
- "Visible field"
- "Hidden field" with a predefined value
- The Form has a rule:
- If "Visible field" is not empty, then show "Hidden field"
- Submit 2 form entries, one where the "Hidden field" is hidden and another one where "Hidden field" is visible (with predefined value)
- Go to Content & Data > Forms and view form entries
- The first entry has an empty value for "Hidden field"
- My expectation is that the predefined value should be recorded even if the field stays hidden
Environment
- Liferay DXP 7.1
- Liferay DXP 7.2
Resolution
- The behavior described above is intended.
- If the field is hidden, the user who submits the Form is not aware of its value. Therefore, this field should not be considered when submitting.
