Update hidden field value from workflow
Hi,

I am currently using umbraco forms for a quiz on my website. I am currently using a workflow to score the quiz and send send out different emails based on the score. I am trying to use a hidden field I can update in the workflow to save the score but I have not had any success getting the record to change.

This is the code block I am using to try and update the hidden field.
```
        // UPDATE RECORDS TO INCLUDE SCORE
        foreach (RecordField recordField in record.RecordFields.Values)
        {
            if (recordField.Field.Caption == "Score")
            {
            recordField.Values.Clear();
            recordField.Values = new List<object> { "something" };
            }
        }

        Umbraco.Forms.Data.Storage.RecordStorage store = new RecordStorage();
        store.UpdateRecord(record, e.Form);
        store.Dispose();
```
I would greatly appreciate any assistance I can get.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm struggling to do the same! Did you find a solution to do this ? Would be nice to share it here? The best would be to create the field automatically if it doesn't exist.

I think there is a lack of documentation for all those Forms and this is suppose to be a premium package. All docs found are from Countours webforms which was perfectly supported by Tim Geysens. This is not the first post I am seeing unanswered about Forms.

A bit late for you guys but one for posterity... based on answers for similar topics I think my changes were being overwritten when the form gets Approved automatically. So tick Enable Post Moderation, which leaves the form in a Submitted state rather than Approved, and then Approve it in code after the UpdateRecord.
```
// set field value
recordField.Values.Clear();
recordField.Values.Add(fieldValue);

// save record
RecordStorage recordStorage = new RecordStorage();
recordStorage.UpdateRecord(record, form);
recordStorage.Dispose();

// set to Approved
var recordService = new Umbraco.Forms.Web.Services.RecordService();
recordService.Approve(record, form);
```
