My goal is, that eForm populates hidden fields with data my script receives from a database. I was able to successfully populate all visible input fields with my function called through &eFormOnBeforeFormParse. When I want to populate hidden fields, it does not work. They are empty or MODx/eForm complains that the form was tampered with.
I could just throw the data in regular input fields and hide them with css, but is there a way to do this appropriately with type=”hidden” fields?
Use the
eformattribute to prevent validation of hidden fields:More info here:
