Has the behavior of the Hidden field changed?

Are you trying to display the value of a hidden field in a simple text?

And if so could you try with the latest version (1.2.106) just tested with that version and there doesn’t seem to be any issue (i didn’t get a report about any issue with it in  1.2.104 either but the test I just did was with 1.2.106)

Alos, there is an issue with adding fields in the simple text but it just affect the designer (in the designer fields added in the simple text are not shown) but it doesn’t affect the form once it is executed, the fields are shown correctly.

This issue will be corrected in the next release.

Regards!
