Hi I have added the hidden box widget on both my forms and just tried going into already submitted forms to add internatal status notes however when I go to submissions and click on the edit icon it takes me to the published view of the jotform with the information however the hidden box doesn't appear as its 'hidden' from the published view.

This is a re-post of a comment on How To Assign Status To Submissions

Kindly check if the "Auto hide empty fields" is checked. Ensure that it's unchecked. Just click on the small cog wheel on the upper right inside the submissions page.

Here's a sample screenshot:

Please let us know the form URL which you are referring to.

I have gone ahead and tested it further.

I have noticed that the Hidden box is not supported in the Cards layout. Currently, it is only supported in the Classic layout. Let me escalate this to our development team. We will update you once we receive any information regarding this. Until you can follow this workaround:

What you can do is add a Short text entry field to add a text note while editing the submission. You can add a Get Form Page URL. Add a condition to your Form to show this field only when the Form is edited.

Let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks.
