Hello bullsb ,

I am already using Forms pro and I have created my survey using Forms pro but unfortunately, the same problem occurs.

      Hello bullsb,

      Its already hidden but here it's showing because it's not on preview mode, thanks for sharing I have already followed the same tutorial but the problem persists.

      Any other suggestions?
