[FIXED] How can I add hidden/invisible text fields or values into a document?

Issue

How can I add hidden text fields or values into a document?

I have to receive documents and update a database with certain values. I want to add hidden fields into a document so that I could access the values when I get the envelope. How can I do that? The hidden fields I found in the documentation were focused on hiding sensitive data from a receiver. I want the field to be completely hidden.

Solution

You can use custom fields.

Custom fields are meta-data, hidden values that are associated with an envelope and you can use API to get/set them.

They are text fields limited to 100 characters, but you can have as many of them as you need.
