Naming Hidden Forms

Hi @misrael365,

I’m afraid, the {hidden-5} are field IDs are they are unique to the form.

Changing these IDs can affect the workflow of the form, for example, if you are using the field ID in email notifications a custom field ID won’t work, it isn’t something we would recommend as it isn’t fully tested on our side.

The field IDs are specific to the form, could we know why you are looking to name it consistent as they are more of a setting in the backend?

Please do let us know further about it so that we could advise if there is any workaround that could be suggested or not.

Kind Regards,
Nithin

I want to add a script to pull data from cookies, specifically the Google Analytics user ID.

Is there another way to get that?

Hi @misrael365

I hope you are doing wel.

You will need to create some custom coding.

If you are using PHP you can use some hooks like:

add_filter( 'forminator_field_hidden_field_value', function( $value ){
    if( $value === 'cookie_custom_value' ){
    $value = .. your cookie value,
    } return $value;
} );

Use the code on your child theme or as a mu-plugin following this guide: https://wpmudev.com/docs/using-wordpress/installing-wordpress-plugins/#installing-mu-plugins

Create an hidden field > Custom value and use “cookie_custom_value” as default value.

The filter will update the value and return data based on what you entered on

$value = .. your cookie value,

For example, you can make a new verification if a cookie exists and append it.

For localStorage ( Works for cookie too ) you can append the new value using JavaScript https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_storage_getitem.asp and update the field value: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/jquery-set-the-value-of-an-input-text-field/
