    I think I've solved the problem. I've read that in the edit mode the owner will see all the hidden files. Is it correct ? Is there a way to change this option ?

    Thank you,

    Pasquale.

    Hi Pasquale,

    Thanks for getting back to us. We are pleased that you have resolved the problem. Yes, that is correct. If the form owner views the submission in edit mode, the form owner can see all the hidden fields. Although there is no direct option to change this feature, there is a workaround that you can use to achieve your requirement.

    Basically, you need to utilize the Show/Hide Field conditional logic and the Get Form Page URL widget not to show the hidden fields when the form owner in Edit Mode is viewing it. Here's how to do it:

    1. Add a Get Form Page URL widget to your form.
      In the edit link, it shows all the hidden fileds Ive added Image 1 Screenshot 40
    2. Set up a Show/Hide Field conditional logic to hide the hidden fields.
      In the edit link, it shows all the hidden fileds Ive added Image 2 Screenshot 51


    Sample Result:

    Give it a try, and let us know how it goes.
