    Is it possible to edit the 'name' attribute of hidden fields? If so, how?

    No, you cannot edit the name attribute or markup of the hidden fields. The form markup is dynamic so it's generated by the form rendering engine. It can't be changed.

    What exactly are you trying to do? You can pre-populate hidden fields via API hooks and the query string. If you provide details on what you are trying to do we can let you know how it can be accomplished with the available API hooks, etc.

    Sure. So, we have javascript that tracks email leads and it looks for a hidden field with a specific name attribute and then checks the value (which I have set the default for).

    I should add that it does not necessarily have to be a 'hidden' field. As long as I have an input where I can edit the name and the default value, I can just hide it with CSS.

    The name and id's attributes of fields cannot be customized or changed. They are dynamically generated. So unless your javascript can be tweaked to tell it the correct name, it won't be compatible. But it the Javascript has the name or id of the field in the script, I don't see why it couldn't be changed in the Javascript itself.

    Unfortunately, thats not an option. It's a centrally located script thats used by thousands of our customers. Guess we won't be using Gravity Forms :)

    Thanks

    Sorry to hear that. You may want to consider making it flexible so it can be defined on the specific site. It's pretty typical for form builders to not allow you to edit this information. Some allow it, some don't.
