Description
If a field is set to initially hidden (even though can be changed visibility with custom calculation script:
if (this.getField("needsWeight").value == "Yes") {
event.target.display = display.visible;
} else {
event.target.display = display.hidden;
}
These fields (hidden ones) will not be parsed, and you will not get any data on them (coordinates, names, etc.)
Was this intended and is there a way to enable hidden field parsing?

Compare parsing for initially hidden and visible fields, then verify that the hidden fields expose the expected coordinates, names, and related data without breaking existing form parsing.
