Omit hidden fields in email summary

    I’m using a form with various conditions that hide fields to narrow down choices for users. The form then sends it as an email to me (admin) where I can review the information. The problem is that all hidden fields still appear on the email summary and make it very confusing to read.

    Is there any way to stop the email summary from including hidden fields like you can empty fields?

    There isn’t really a way to do this.

    But… if you are comfortable with PHP, you could make a custum summary template, and change lines 54 – 56 to reflect the condition logic.

    Would I have to check each field’s value and then adjust the following accordingly? Is there no way to test for “hidden” in the php?

    Thats the gist of it. The conditions functionality is all Javascript in the browser. The PHP on the server has no knowledge of this state. At least, not without adding a bunch of hidden values to the form when submitting.
