lightning:input field hidden

Question

I created a lightning component with lightning:recordEditForm and lightning:inputField to create a new record.

I have another field which I don't want it to be in the form but I want to populate it.

I didn't find a way to do this without put it in the form and use "slds-hidden" but that makes a gap in the UI.

Does someone know what to do in that case ? I mean, is there a better way to hide the field ? Or maybe a solution to "remove" the gap ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Use slds-hide instead of slds-hidden.

So the thing is if you just want to disappear the element from the UI then use the slds-hidden and it will take its space.

And to remove the space as well use the slds-hide.
