Filling in field hidden by visibility rules on embedded forms

Question

Hi everyone,
Hoping there is an easy solution to this. I'm using a global form embedded in several places on our website - I would like to be able to hide one of the fields on some of these pages and have it autofill to a certain value. I have tried hiding the field via visibility rules and then adding a hidden field in the embed code, but Marketo seems to ignore this (I presume because the field is actually there, just not shown).
 
I know I can just add the value after the form is filled in via a trigger in Marketo based on referrer, but would rather add it at form fill if possible.Thanks!Will

@sanfordwhiteman describes a prefill solution on his blog here: https://blog.teknkl.com/pre-fill-any-site-any-form/ that should work to help you prefill fields on an embedded form which use visibility rules. It looks like there's some feedback in the comments at the bottom (attached below) that describe how this works with the visibility rules:

You could rerun the pre-fill in whenRendered — but make sure you only fill in the fields that haven’t been changed, or else you could be changing things the end user already modified.
