Comments.Text: Can you try using single brace syntax: `{queryStr}` or object syntax `{{ object.queryStr }}` as the Hidden Field value.

Comments.Text: {queryStr} did not work, but  {{ object.queryStr }} did. I'll mark the answer if you decide to post it.

Title: addFieldVariables not functioning with string data
ThreadText: # addFieldVariables not functioning with string data
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-05-17)
  
  I have the following code:
  
  ```
      {% set query = {} %}
  
       {% if not craft.request.getParam('q')|length %}
            {#.. key, value pairing .. #}
            {% set query = query | merge({(key):(value)}) %}
       {% else %}
            {% set query = craft.request.getParam('q') %}
       {% endif %}
  
       {% set queryStr = query|join(' OR ') %}
  
       {% do craft.sproutForms.addFieldVariables({ queryStr: queryStr }) %}   
  
       {{ craft.sproutForms.displayForm('requestcsv') }}
  
  ```
  
  When I add {{queryStr}} to my hidden field in requestcsv, it doesn't populate. I can output {{queryStr}} on the page, and even so, it doesn't get passed.
  
  Is there something I'm missing in order to be able to pass this string to a hidden field? {{queryStr}} is just a plain string.

  The value you place in your Hidden Field settings gets treated as a template and whatever values you pass o the `addFieldVariables` method are treated as the object that gets parsed by that template.
  
  Just like, when you load an Entry page in Craft, Craft provides the `entry` variable to the template, when we process the Hidden Field settings, Sprout Forms provides the `addFieldVariables` variables to that template.
  
  While Craft knows it is giving you an Entry and names it's variable `entry`, Sprout Forms doesn't really know what you might be giving it, so it names the variable available to your settings template a generic term: `object`.
  
  You can access these values using Object Syntax, in the same way you can using the Title Format behavior for Sections:
  
  ```
  {{ object.variableName }}
  
  ```
  
  Or in your case:
  
  ```
  {{ object.queryStr }}
  
  ```
  
  In some cases, you can also use a shorthand to output the value with a single curly brace: `{queryStr}`.
