Cascading Text Field Value Hidden but Saved to Table on Submit

[jimarch]

I'm doing a looking up to an employee table by last name and then the user will select the correct employee.  I am grabbing the employee number along with some other fields in cascading text fields but I don't want to display the employee number on the screen but I do need to save it to the table when the form is submitted.  Hopefully it's easy to do and I'm just not seeing how.  Even just masking it on the screen would work if it can't be hidden.  I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Hi @jimarch, 

You can hide the employee number using some CSS Style. Here is the article for your reference: https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/common-customizations/how-to-hide-fields-in-datapages/

The field will be hidden, but it will still be saved in the table. 

 

Hope this helps!
