Does the autofill function work with hidden fields? For a table that I do not show all the fields in the add/edit page. Can I use autofill for the hidden fields? In autofill I can set value for the hidden field, but it does not work unless I show the field on the page. I know I can assign value to the hidden fields in the before update event. Thanks.

If your project uses tabs, have you tried to place the field itself (not hidden) in tab and hide the tab rather than the field itself.
I have not tested it but it is worth a shot!
Here is the code to hide a tab

Best of luck!

How do you hide those fields? If you hide them through the code they still should be auto-filled and saved in the database.

I unchecked the fields for the add/edit pages in the Fields Tab. In fact, in the autofill selection, I could see my target fields and mapped the lookup table fields. It just didn't work if the target fields are unchecked.

Do not uncheck those fields via 'Choose fields'. Hide them using the code:

There is a difference between the field that is on the page but is hidden and the field that doesn't even appear on the page.

Finally I did hide fields in codes. Thanks.
