Hi,

Currently, when the type of a field in Dynaform is of type hidden, the hidden icon will be shown in the field. The variable name of the hidden field is not shown. It is very inconvenient for us to do debugging as we have to click into the hidden field before we know which variable is the field using.

Is there a method to show the variable name of hidden field?

Many Thx

cheers,
Karl

Hello
It is not possible for a hidden web control to display a label in the dynaform.
only a code debugger is performed when a process case is run of the following way:
Go to Designer then right click the process you want to enable debug mode then enable debug mode.

To sum it up
Designer -> Right click process -> Enable Debug mode

Attach some images to show you how the processmaker debugger works in the processes, I used in a dynaform a hidden control.

Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for your advice.

I raised the question because during system developments, one of the common problems or causes of bugs is not having the parameter passing variables included as hidden fields in the Dynaforms. It would be more convenient for developers if the variable names of the hidden fields are shown in the hidden fields. E.g. allowing visible labels in the hidden fields. Sure, these hidden fields and labels should be invisible during processing.

cheers,
Karl

Hello Karl,
I understand your need, but as I told you until the last version of ProcessMaker 3.4.9 it is not possible for a hidden web control to show a label in the dynaform.

Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for your kind attention.
Hope that the feature can be added to PM later.
Or is it would also be good to PM developers working on different versions if somebody can advise us a way to modify the source code of PM.

cheers,
Karl

Hello!
ProcessMaker uses PHP, which is an interpreted language, so the source code is the executed code. You can directly change the code of your installation. On Windows, you can find the code at: C:\Program Files\ProcessMaker\apps\processmaker\
On Linux: /opt/processmaker/

but I would not recommend modifying the ProcessMaker source code, as in a version upgrade you will lose all changes.

Best Regards!
