 * 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!
