Front-end auto field creation #293

Closed kevadamson closed 1 year ago

kevadamson commented 1 year ago

Hi. Possible to "create" a field in the front-end without it being added in the admin?

For example, I'd like to add <input type="hidden" name="foobar" value="{{ currentUser.email }}"> but I just know my client will forget to create it when making form! Can it be auto added somehow based on the submission from the front-end, if that makes sense?

Actually not even auto-added - just submits the value to the entries but isn't then visible / editable in the form builder. Hope I'm making sense!

Hello, as a security measure, the forms don't save values if the field does not exist in the Admin area. However, there is a way to force this. You can create a small plugin helper like the one here. This plugin will listen to the beforeSave event, and you can add the new field and value to the form object for saving.

I hope that makes sense.
