Can't seem to find an answer to this. Is there a workaround so that hidden fields can form part of a group including visible fields?

Sorry, no idea what you mean?
Surely you can add a field to a group and hide it.

Hi Dalkin,
Not sure what the question really is, but you can certainly group hidden and visible objects and toggle visibility of each programmatically as you wish.
You would treat non-visible objects in exactly the same way as visible ones (easier if you use View menu -> show invisible objects).

Was that the question?

Yep. All good. My bad. I have to use the Project Browser to make an object invisible though. Selecting View>Show Invisible Objects seems to have no effect if the invisible object is part of a group.

Show Invisible Objects seems to have no effect if the invisible object is part of a group.

I don't see this on Mac. A control in a group acts like any other. The group extent does adjust to include (or not) the control of interest.
