Hidden fields in a question was created by AlbertoCrespi
Hello,

My goal is to add two hidden fields in question.
The user does not display the fields, but only the owner of the survey during the creation.
The hidden field is used to categorize the questions.
They are useful in analyzing responses.

there was this post:

link_another_post

but was not given the solution, maybe now is possible

I have seen that the table "question_attributes" is available for my trouble,
there is someone who has already done this? or someone can give me some help?

thanks
Albert

If these are only need during survey creation, you can use hidden equation type questions to store whatever you need.

Thanks for the answer.

I need these fields in every new question.
It's possible with hidden equation?

I don't get the point of the solution, there is some link or code?
I can't find the right position in the manual, i think...

Perhaps I don't fully understand the requirements, but if you simply need to store some question-specific data (attributes?), you can place it in equation question(s) and set "Always hide this question" to "Yes" - manual.limesurvey.org/Question_type_-_Equation .

You can insert as many of the equations as required.
