Did anybody get anywhere with this. I am also investigating how to add hidden fields.

I am also interested if anyone, could point me in the direction of how I would change an input type to hidden in google forms.

I have tried researching this now for an hour. I don't think it's possible any more. There are multiple "easy" examples on the internet but most point to old Forms stuff. This is a popular link that doesn't work any more: https://morningstudio.com.au/blog/2013/06/how-to-style-google-forms/

I traced some of the issues to the final script tab that refers to freebird. It gives an "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" error, but even if you manually copy the Javascript to localhost it doesn't work, all kinds of new exceptions ensue.

So, for now at least, I don't believe it's possible to do using a prior method.
