 * Hi all,
 * I’m having some trouble with private fields:
    I use an idNumber with nickname
   and is working fine, when I try to use a text with nickname I can’t see it’s 
   value in the DB.
 * Also referring to the private text field using fm_form_submission hook to set
   the value making some calculation dosen’t has effect.
 * Can someone tell me how it works?
 * Suppose I have Total Order (private field) with nickname total_order, inside 
   the fm_form_submission I make some calculation on that field using some others
   and assign it into the data array as
    $args[‘data’][‘total_order’] = $total_order;
 * Cheers,
    Mattia
