# Hide a question

> Hide a FlowForma question from a form while keeping its functionality by adding a data-question-id display:none rule to the custom.css file in FlowFormaAssets.

There may be times when you need to hide a question from the form, but not all rules/functions work with hidden questions. Examples **published questions**, **calculated questions** or questions with **default values cannot be hidden**.

There is an option to hide questions using custom CSS that will hide the question from the form, but keep the functionality of a visible question. The following instructions will allow you to do this.

* Navigate to the questions list
* Modify the view to show questions IDs
* Once you have the ID number of the question you want to hide you need to navigate to the FlowFormaAssets and open the CSS folder.
* Download a copy of the custom.css file, and open it in a text editor.
* The code to hide questions is

```css theme={null}
[data-question-id="1"] {
display:none;
}
```

Where the id of the question is the question you want to hide. If you are hiding more than 1 question, simply paste the code again and change the second id in order to have

```css theme={null}
[data-question-id="1"] {
display:none;
}
[data-question-id="2"] {
display:none;
}
```

* In this example, we are going to hide the status question (id 5)

* Save the changes and upload the custom.css file in the css folder; you can do this by simply dragging and dropping the file.
* You will be notified that a file with the same name exists, but you can click "replace it".
* The question should now be hidden from on the form, but the functionality of a visible question remains.
