A hidden field is a unique input field that, unlike other fields, has its value sent along with a form submission but is not displayed or otherwise visible to users.
As the name of the field type, this field is not shown up on the frontend of the Form. You can choose to assign a value to this field and afterward use it in calculations, get dynamic data to our Database/email, or for other purposes.
