By default, when a field is hidden (except for the dedicated Hidden component under the Data tab), its value is cleared. This helps avoid confusion where users might unknowingly submit data in fields they can’t see—especially in forms that show/hide fields dynamically.
When You Don’t Want the Value Cleared
In some advanced cases (e.g. hidden text fields used for calculations, Power Automate, or emails), you may want hidden fields to keep their values. You have two options:
Disable “Clear Value When Hidden” - Go to the field’s Data tab and untick Clear Value When Hidden.
Use the Hidden Component - Add the Hidden component from the Data tab. This component is designed for this purpose and it always retains its value.
