I hope you find a filter that works for you or that someone can provide a more helpful solution. My first inkling is that you might easily solve your issue with CSS, which would require a custom jQuery/CSS solution. But then I thought that there may be an unexplored, undocumented filter, which is why I suggested you look at the Quiz Maker filters in Codex V2.

The answers aren't always forthcoming though, because of the immense growth Formidable has gone through. I've been answering questions in these forums for a long time. I am amazed at some of the requirements people have asked about in this community. Formidable is being used in some unique and innovative ways.

Those of us that regularly answer questions have a lot of hands-on experience with Formidable, but none of us know all of the answers, especially when it comes to some of the lesser documented add-ons. That means, to effectively answer a question, you either know through experience because you use the same add-on or solved a similar issue, or you research the source code.

When I test any filter, documented or not, I set up a stub function in the theme's functions.php. This technique works in FSE themes, too. I set up an add_filter and related callback in conjunction with the Kint debugger. Sometimes, I call the function directly or sometimes I let everything execute until Formidable triggers the filter.

Using Kint allows you to add breakpoints to examine variables and logic values and then halt further execution so you can examine every filter parameter and their values in detail. Understanding how and what a filter receives, manipulates, and passes through data is critical to writing hearty code that won't break unless, that is, it hits an edge case not considered in design, even if you're a debug-first developer like me.
