Hidden field not available in Querystring builder

    Hi, Im trying to pass a sort of checksum to a page via the querystring. This checksum is in the form of a hidden field with a default value of '{date_mdy}{ip}'.
    It is called 'checksum' and its the 4th field in my form, so in the QS builder I've tried to use {checksum:4} to pass it, but no luck :/

    Any ideas?

    As a bit of back story, I wan't the destination page to only show some downloads if a registration form has been filled out. I'll check the format of this checksum value to allow or disallow the downloads.

    Cheers, Ben

    This appears to be a bug. We will look into it and get it corrected in the next release and in the 1.5 Beta Release which could be released anytime now.

    In the mean time what you could do is add a Single Line Text field and then use CSS to hide that field. Then use that field to pass the information in the querystring. So the user wouldn't see that field but it wouldn't technically be a hidden field type.
