    Hi.

    Great work on this really useful plugin. Here’s what I’m trying to accomplish, not sure if it can be done with Form Manager:

    1. When user enters ‘x’ in form field ‘A’
    2. Populate ‘WINNER’ into hidden text field
    3. In Forms dashboard > Submission Data
    4. Export only forms that contain ‘WINNER’ in hidden text field

    This would allow me to easily create an export of competition participants who submitted the correct answers. Unlike in my example, in reality the form would contain several fields, therefore I need an automated way to export only form submissions with specific data.

    I hope you can help.

    Alternatively, it was also be really easy if Form Manager would allow conditions to affect Private Fields.

    That way, based on user-input, I would be able to pre-populate a Private Field with a flag (hidden from user) and base my export on that flag.

    Sorry to get to this so late. You could do this with javascript:

    – add a note to the form, put the JS with script tags in the note, and check the ‘HTML’ box.
    – You can hide elements with CSS or javascript. If you give the items a nickname you can hide their ‘li’ (the id is ‘fm-item-(nickname)’) with JS or CSS.
    – add a text item to the form, and hide it. Use this to store the result.

    I like the idea of conditional hidden values, I’ll add it to the list.

    Thanks for the reply. I understand it would be hard to keep in touch with such a massive user-base of a free plugin. Great work nonetheless.

    With regards to your suggestion, I’ll see if I can get help from a friend who’s a developer… Unfortunately my JS knowledge is pretty much 0.

    Best of luck with the evolution of WordPress Form Manager!
