I have a field for a Case number where the input would look like 4649706375-462 but I would like the subject line to only display 4649706375 stripping off the last 4 characters. I use the following syntax for the subject: <CASE:[CaseNumber]>
Can I create a hidden field to strip off the last 4 characters?
Thank You

Yes you can do this.
Add a text field to your form
Name it badnumber
Now add a hidden input to form and name it goodnumber and give it a value of 0
Now add a html element and paste the code below to it.
Here's an example of how it works. I have a hidden input and a visible input being populated.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

In my case, I always want to strip and use only first 10 characters.

Seems logical, I created the hidden field added your code but only get the value of 0
My subject line in email is <CASE:[goodnumber]>
Any thoughts

I would double check your html element because there's no JQuery code on that form.
Also rename your form without spaces. Spaces can cause problems.
