As seen here, I have created a hidden field in the dashboard called custom-url. I get an error saying there are invalid fields with my rule. My goal is to use the javascript logic to take in a loved\_ones\_name, manipulate the text so it looks like a slug, and then display that to the user. My issue doesn’t lie in the function to change the text, it lies in displaying it to the user via a hidden field. While I can define a custom text such as {{loved\_ones\_name}} and have it display what the user inputs in the appropriate form, I can’t seem to get the data to a hidden field nor display a hidden field to the user. Any assistance would be appreciated as I’ve re-read the docs multiple times and I’m not sure what I’m doing something wrong. ![Screenshot 2024-01-06 at 1.30.18 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/feathery/original/1X/f535cac26a7e615fbd944ecdff691e82b15f5cc3.png) ---

Hey, it turns out that the problematic statement was in the condition “name\_of\_loved\_one is filled” – It was a bug on our part that we fixed just now. You may just have to reselect “is filled” to resolve it. Let us know if you have any other issues.
