It would be nice if we could add hidden fields to surveys. This would allow us to provide additional dimensions to the data that the user may not be able to reliably supply. This feature is available on the hubspot forms and is pretty standard for all other survey/form products like Refiner and Typeform.

I want this feature, too! We send out a survey each time a support ticket is closed in Jira, and would like to be able to pass along the name of the support representative so that they can see the feedback that relates specifically to them. It would be asking too much to have the customer select who their representative was, so we would like to keep this hidden and automatically populated.

This is a must have, we are using a custom object to send out surveys and passing this data back into the Feedback Submission object is can only be done with visible prepopulated fields. Some of this data we need to keep hidden from the customer.

We could really use this feature too. Seems odd that it’s not available as standard. Not sure why we wouldnt want to ‘tag’ surveys in the same way we monitor all other forms with UTM, source, campaign association etc…

We need a way to put the Feedback Response ID on the Deal it’s associated with. Ideally we could send a Survey based on a specific Deal so we can tie Product data to the Feedback Data. Using complicated workflows to paritally achieve this now.

I’ve run into this problem too! If we send out a survey as a link in a newsletter, for example, having the user fill in their email and hidden fields would be SO much better! Type form allows for this - can Hubspot pleaseeeee
