The Hidden component stores a value in module state without displaying anything to end-users. Use it to hold intermediate values, counts, flags, or data passed between logic components.
How to read settings tables
The tables below describe each configurable option as it displays in the Unqork IDE. Values are formatted as follows:
inline code— a value to type exactly as shown | Bold — a value selected from a drop-down, radio button, tab, or choice chip | ON/OFF — toggle state | ✓ — checkbox checked | ☐ — checkbox unchecked
General Settings
| Setting | Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Property ID | key |
Text input | hidden |
The unique identifier for this component instance. |
Display Settings
Field Text
| Setting | Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Label Text | label |
Text input | — | Identifies the component on the Module Builder canvas. Does not display. |
Data Settings
Data Storage
| Setting | Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Store Data in Database | persistent |
Toggle | ON | When set to ON, this setting this setting stores field values to the database when the module saves, end-users navigate between Panel components, or end-users navigate between workflow screens. Set to OFF to exclude this field from server-side submissions. |
| Default Value | defaultValue |
Text input | — | Sets the initial value of the field before any other component updates it. |
Note: Fields with Store Data in Database set to OFF are excluded from Plug-In component's API responses and Unqork's built-in tracker. When using a Plug-In component to remote-execute a module, any component whose value must be included in the API response requires Store Data in Database set to ON.
Validation Settings
User Input
| Setting | Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Required | validate.required |
Toggle | OFF | Requires a value to be present before the module can be submitted. |
Operations Builder
This component supports the Operations Builder in Vega modules. When the module or panel runtime is set to Vega (2.0), an Event Handlers section displays in the settings panel for configuring event-driven operations.
