Hidden variable

Hello guys,

I need to hide a variable; the help of the Variable Overview shows the attached text, so I think there is the way to hide variables; can anyone help me, pls?

Thks.

I'm not absolutely sure but I think the hint to "non-hidden variables" relates to the system-variables like verbatim and similar. Those aren't shown within the variable overview. AFAIK there is no way to set a variable as a system-variable in a similar way like it's possible for fields by tagging them with $hidden or using the hide_prefix/suffix variables. At least such feature isn't documented whereby I doubt that there is any easter egg for it.

Therefore I suggest to consider to transfer the logic from a variable to a field.
