hidden number field for calculation

Hi @felix997

I hope you are doing well today.

Just to be sure, we are on the same page, you allow to choose the number of nights on page 1, and you pre-populate that on page 2 in the number field as well and that allows you to change the number again, and that part you would like to block?

Kind Regards,
Kris

Hey Kris,

thank you very much for your quick reply.
I‘m using the pre population via the URL. So on page 1 the number of nights will be pre populated by the URL which is added to our guest app. So the guest can not change it easily.
If the guest book an additional service which is charged by night, I‘m using the field on page 1 for the calculation.
The field on page 1 can be changed any time by the guest and I would like to avoid it. So the best would be to block or hide it. But I need the value for the calculation.

best regards

Felix

Hi @felix997

I hope you are doing well.

You can use the query string on hidden field https://monosnap.com/file/PnajC0uyBHABk1MfK6VFMP90RxTowc and then use a calculation like:

( {hidden-1} ) + 10

But this can easily break the form if for some reason a string is passed instead a number, a better solution would be using the number field itself with pre populate feature and then use a CSS to hide the field.

You can add a custom class then .class{ display:none; } for that.
