Hidden fields in auto-layout for tablet and mobile

Last updated Mar 28 2018

Hidden fields are important, they allow you to do "magic" in your forms. They are also transparent, which means the fills don't see them, however they still take up space, and if they create an unusual space - this is easily spotted. This is why we allowed our users to resize the hidden fields in one of our previous versions.
This is all well & good for the Desktop version, but what about Tablet and Mobile versions? There was a slight problem there with the Hiddens...
When moving to "Tablet" or "Mobile" modes with Auto Layout, when the fields could not fit side by side any longer, Titan would take the fields and place them one after the other. (in a column-like layout). Problem was, he was taking all elements into account when doing this, including the hiddens.  So now they were taking up space on canvas as if they were regular elements, and in the published form it just looked like empty spaces. 
This was, of course, fixed in this version. and now, when moving to Tablet or Mobile the hidden fields are not taken into consideration.
