What are you trying to accomplish?

Fixes an issue where hidden inputs created with the forms framework would take up vertical/horizontal space on the page. Depending on the form, this can lead to weird visual spacing issues. This has been a problem for a while, but was recently exacerbated by #3087 (merged as #3159).

Screenshots

This is difficult to show in a screenshot because the input itself is not visible.

Integration

No changes necessary in production.

List the issues that this change affects.

Fixes #3194

Risk Assessment

  • Low risk the change is small, highly observable, and easily rolled back.
  • Medium risk changes that are isolated, reduced in scope or could impact few users. The change will not impact library availability.
  • High risk changes are those that could impact customers and SLOs, low or no test coverage, low observability, or slow to rollback.

What approach did you choose and why?

All inputs are wrapped in the Group component, so I added some logic that adds display: none to groups that contain only hidden inputs.

Accessibility
