## Overview

- **Name:** `hidden`
- **UI:** None
- **Data type:** Any valid data type

Hidden widgets do not display in the UI. In folder collections that allow users to create new items, you will often want to set a default for hidden fields, so they will be set without requiring an input.

## Widget options

For common options, see [Common widget options](/docs/widgets#common-widget-options).
