Can I add fields to an existing document and update the view?

[NewbieNotes]

I have created a form that is used as a test. I have both unhidden and hidden fields that are recorded to a view. Once the user has answered all questions, an agent runs displaying the questions and the answers as correct or incorrect. I had created a view that saved the required fields such as the selected answer, EmpID Name and so on. It was decided to add 3 additional hidden fields on the form and populate them as soon as the form is displayed with specifiec information located in a txt file. I need to update the original information in the view. Can this be done?????

Thank you in advance for all assistance!

From Notes Designer Help:

Adding a field
If you create a new field, create an agent that inserts the new field into existing documents using the formula:
FIELD New field name := value;
where New field name is the name of the field and value is the value you want the field in these documents to have. The value can be the field default value; a formula that calculates the value; or a null value ("&quot that inserts the field into the documents, but doesn't give them any initial value.
