Feature Description

It would be very useful to have the ability to add hidden fields that can be refilled using the api and for post-processing with the webhook. For example, I plan to use this in a K-8 school district for parents to fill out and sign forms. If I could prefill a hidden field with the students unique id, it would make it a little easier to process the information from the webhook when received. My plan is to automate the updating of the student record in our SIS with the information received, which will greatly reduce the workload of our adminstrative assistants.

  • I want to work on creating a PR for this issue if approved - I sincerely would love to contribute to this project, but my background is in mostly PHP development. I have have zero experience with Typescript, but if someone could just give me the specific files where the changes would be made and a short primer. I am a database administrator, although usually with Sql and MySQL, but Postgres is not too different. I have taken a look at the project and I am frankly too old to learn another language from scratch, but I am quite certain I could figure it out with a bit of a map.

这个需求很合理。可以考虑在表单中添加 type="hidden" 的输入字段,通过 URL 参数或 JavaScript 预填充学生 ID,这样 webhook 接收时就能直接拿到该 ID 用于 SIS 更新。如果当前系统不支持隐藏字段,也可以用只读字段 + CSS 隐藏作为临时方案。
