A hidden field is just a field that will always be hidden, it is used to save something that you don’t want the user to see. You can still see it in the entries screen or use it in the email that is created.
It doesn’t make much sense to add a hidden setting as there are many fields that would be completely useless if they are hidden like the file upload or the recaptcha. If you still want to hide a particular field you can do so using conditional logic or css. an stile like this should work to hide any field:
.rnField_[fieldId]{
display:none !important;
}

Hi, In fact I didn’t ask to add the option “hidden” to all fields. It is enough you add only to the fields where make sense as drop-down, numeric, and other field can give a value or a result. In this case you can use some of these fields to create a condition but don’t show it on the form. That’s it.

You can use the hidden field for that as well, you can save a value in the hidden field and use them in conditions or other formulas. Is that what you need?
I think that as I told you is simpler for user set the field as hidden because it is only a check.
In your suggestion user need to know more stuffs to simply configure a field as hidden.
I don’t think is that simple, in my experience I can tell it would be a source of confusion, like what happens if the field is set as hidden but you set up conditional logic to show or hide it? some users will want to display it, some others will want to keep it hidden. Also, have in mind that there are many users with no experience with WordPress or any other form builder so some will set up a conditional logic, forget they added it, and then will wonder why the field is not shown if they didn’t set it as ‘Hidden’
So unless there is a very good reason to add this setting I don’t think adding it is a good idea, especially since just adding a hidden field would do the same thing.
Yes correct. But you can add simply a warning message to show if user select “hidden” option and that’s it.
For user is really simpler just a check than create a formula or something similar.
But this is only my opinion.
