Hi there,

Would really appreciate the help. I am having difficulties moving hidden  
values between forms and most importantly putting a hidden value on my case  
list.

I feel like there's something I am missing here as they are all just  
appearing blank.

Suggestions would be really great,

Thank You,

Heidi

Just to be clear, I want my hidden value to appear as visible on my  
caselist/as part of other questions in other forms.

Hi Heidi,

I assume you are: (1) following the steps described on the Case  
Configuration page  
[https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Case+Configuration](https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Case+Configuration) to  
save the hidden values from your form to a case property, and to load the  
saved case property into a hidden value in a different form, and (2)  
following the steps described on the Case List and Case Detail  
Configuration page  
[https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Case+List+and+Case+Detail+Configuration](https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Case+List+and+Case+Detail+Configuration)  
to display the relevant case properties in your case list.

If, after following these steps, a particular case property is appearing  
blank in your case list, you may need to look at the calculation you are  
performing in the hidden value, and if that is evaluating to blank for any  
reason. Please feel free to share the calculation here to get help with  
debugging.

Thanks,  
Kriti
