Hide fields in customized URL query string

Scott Cornish

Is it possible to change fields to hidden in the URL string, that are not normally in our forms? I have 7 items that have preset values and can only be requested for a short time each year. Instead of creating 7 more forms (based off the our primary form) I would like to if it is possible to build the url string with these preset values and hide the fields, so that they cannot be modified.

For example, you want to set the Length to 72, yet when they open the form they do not see this field... https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/6145a2c33c4e42e68bf53900e4a4845b?Length=72

Hi @Scott Cornish

I hope you're well and safe!

Yes, you can hide the field in the form, but still use the URL-Query feature.

I recently did this in a client solution for invoicing.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Thank you for replying so quickly. I would be very interested to know about your solution. The only thing I can think of is to create 1 more form, hide most fields & then preset all except their details.
