Is your Feature Request related to a Problem or Annoyance?

It is probably harder then I think it is to implement, but there often no need to keep the field there after information was inputted so it is nice to remove them

Describe the Feature you'd like

Add an option for INPUT and VIEW fields to self-destruct few seconds after it was changed.

For INPUT it is quite simple - as they are not activated unless updated after they where first updated a five seconds timer starts to tick (5 is an argument)
Each new update refreshes the time, this way multiselect can be used without a problem.
After it is done, it self-destructs. It can do it cleanly, or by leaving its value behind as plain text, that depends if it was hidden or no

For VIEW field it is way trickier, but also in a way easer.
As the only real use for one time view fields is to update some property's / input properties into the text they should work the same way, but count 5 minutes instead. If nothing was changed then disappear.
If used to input data it can be set to 0 to act instant-ish-ly
Same as input they may leave their view or disappear completely if it was hidden.
