Exclude fields from being submitted

    Hi guys,
    Because there is no ability to add raw labels to the form (or is there?), i've got an "example" set of fields that show a user how the form is meant to be filled out. I don't want these fields submitted to the back end every time as it would just be the same information in every submission.
    Is there a way to exclude these fields from being posted?

    Hi,

    Do you mean you want to add some static test/information to your user ?
    If so, I think you can use section break field or you can put the information on field "Guidelines for the user" .

    I have a table in the form that asks the user to submit information.
    I've included an example row with filled in data so the user can see how to fill the form out. The problem is, every time the form is submitted, the example data is submitted with the form also.

    This may be too simple-minded a suggestion to help you, but have you thought of doing a screen capture of your example row and then embedding the graphic image into the form? Here is a link with more information about embedding graphic files in a form:

    Hi William, thanks for the simple minded suggestion :)
    I've managed to take a screenshot of the example filled in fields and created an image from them and embedded it like you suggested. That works a treat for horizontal headers.

    I'm glad my suggestion was helpful.
