Hello! I have a hidden field in a form and don’t want this field to be visible in email notifications. I use this hidden field to get the email of the user who sends the form via a save and continue.  
Is there a solution to hide the hidden fields in emails?

Hi Kay. If you are using the `{all_fields}` merge tag in your notifications, you can use the [:nohidden modifier](https://docs.gravityforms.com/fields-merge-tag/#-nohidden), like this:

`{all_fields:nohidden}`

Hey Kay! Reviving this thread to share a snippet that might be useful to you or other users. It expands the `:nohidden` modifier to also hide other field types that were hidden via the Visibility toggle or CSS.
