I should have added that hiding a checklist and its data means the information is NOT available for analysis and study. Hidden lists are basically a way to keep the input private (and there are good reasons for that at times). If there is a sensitive species involved, then it is better to report it and not hide the list so that the information is available for anyone seeking research data. Given sensitive species are hidden automatically, additionally setting a checklist to hidden is unnecessary. That might better answer your question directly.
