Yes, you can, but I'm not sure that it will not cause problems. With the screen editor select the field and write a nonexisting labelnumber (e.g. 5000, see fields_by_number.htm) instead of 870. To be safe I recommend making a copy of the field first and change the X or Y position of the copy to negative. This way the field will still exist, but not on the screen, so anything can read the value of it. (So you'll have 2 fields: an invisible with labelnumber 870 and the visible with your new labelnumber.) Now you can set the value of your new field from macro or plugin.
