I’d like to have a field (e.g. text field or integer), but don’t want to show it on the form

Hi @wroos,

Regarding your first queries:

@wroos

Feature disabled is new? Since when?

This post should answer your query:

Error message seen while trying to load custom report: Server Error (500)

Very well Milner, It is working now. Thank you for your invaluable support. Best,

Regarding your second queries:

@wroos

This disabled could probably also be used to hide sensible data (by a new form version).
What is the result on export and report?.

It only hides the questions while collecting data. It does not hide the data while downloading even though you have disabled some questions while downloading. The same principle follows while viewing the disabled questions in the custom report or in the DATA>Table view.

Regarding your third queries:

@wroos

Type hidden (documented) is another option (but more restricted, e.g. not allowing to hide select_.).
Even calculate type with calculation now(“”) might work (example for text).
Also a user-ID related relevant might do the job, not needing a new form deployment.

The similarity between a hidden question type and a disabled feature is that they both hide a question while collecting data. But the main difference between the two is that a hidden question is able to collect data if you have some default values or some calculations in it but with a disabled feature you are not able to collect any information whether it is from a default value or a calculation.
