Field Types / Hidden field

Note: You are currently reading the documentation for Bolt 4.0. Looking for the documentation for Bolt 5.2 instead?

The hidden field is like the text field, except it's hidden from the content editor.

Basic Configuration:¶

        secret:
            type: hidden

Example usage in templates:¶

{{ record.secret }}

Hiding a field, still showing the pre- and postfix¶

Sometimes you might want to not show a field, but still want to display some information to the editor. For example to give them more detailed instructions on how to use the current ContentType. The type: hidden field is not suited for this, because it hides the entire Field. Instead, use a text field, and hide its input. See an example on the Text Field page.
