Can we have the ability to set the default value in a drop down field on a webform? Also be good if we could set a default value and then hide the field so the user can't change it (this can be done on Smartsheet forms).

Currently I am using the title prefix function on the webform and then using an automation to populate some fields based on the prefix. Would be much faster if it could be done directly in the webform.

To give context, we are using the form at events to capture customer information. We want to capture the event at which the form was filled out without making the customer fill this field out themselves. Having a hidden field with a default value would be extremely helpful, and very easy to change from one event to the next.

Another use case is webforms on the website, it will allow us to capture the source of the form and use landing pages with different webforms that look the same but populate a different value in Pipedrive.

Hidden fields with default values for number fields or notes would also be very handy.

    I would suggest exploring these tools instead, most are free to use.

    • Formaloo: AI-powered survey maker for lead capture and data collection and management (like Airtable?).
    • Fillout: Simple drag-and-drop, conditional logic for small businesses.
    • Typeform: Expensive, but the OG form solution providing conversational user experiences.
    • Gravity Forms: WordPress plugin, conditional logic, databases, payments.
