Hidden Custom Field

mentor

Is there a way to add a custom field with record browser or do i need to code?

Thank you in advance

You can add custom fields with Record Browser utility.
Go to admin panel, open Record Browser, select the recordset you want to add new field to and add new field.

And where is the hidden option? Whatever I choose the field is visible

No way to add hidden custom field, because there is no GUI to set default values. What would you like to hold in this field?

mentor

A default value that will later change if a condition is met.

Please use "Field generator function" (advanced field settings) - you should code some method in custom module, install this module and set "Field generator function" to use that custom module method. You can find examples of such methods by searching for "QFfield_" in php files. The simplest one would be:



public static function QFfield_XXX(&$form, $field, $label, $mode, $default, $desc, $rb_obj) {

  if($mode=='edit' || $mode=='add')

    $form->addElement('hidden',$field,$default);

}
