I've never figured out a direct solution for this, but my own workaround has been to add hidden or administrator-viewable-only fields to the form and duplicate the value from the conditionally hidden fields (or conditionally hidden fields inside the hidden section) into those additional fields when the form is submitted. That way the value is at least retained and I can craft views, actions, and workflows accordingly.
It definitely makes everything a little more complicated and usually requires some PHP work depending on the workflow.
Thanks Jason. I came across this solution on another discussion but wanted to find something easier as I will be creating many forms.
Would be nice if [frm-entry-update-field id=[id] field_id=y value="Updated"] worked for sections. Actually, I can’t get it to work for single fields (maybe there’s an issue with the current version)
