Sometimes it might be useful to get dynamic, non user input for a submission.

Tinyforms uses magic values that set computed values in your Spreadsheet.

For example a field with the value tinyforms_now gets automatically replaced by the current date.

Usage

Add a hidden field to your form. Give it a name and set the value to one of the available magic values.

<form method="POST" action="..." enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input **type="hidden"** name="date" value="tinyforms_now">
</form>

Available magic values

All magic values start with tinyadmin_

• tinyforms_now - current date/time in UTC
• tinyforms_token - unique token of the form
• tinyforms_id - auto incremented id of the submission
