Default Hidden Value in DCT

dlukezic

Is there a way to create a hidden field on a DCT AND give it a value? Or do I have to do this in a corresponding .js file?

Thanks,
Doreen

I think it would be something like this:<item name="hidden_field">
<hidden/>
<text>
<default>xyz</default>
</text>
</item>(haven't verified this myself - sorry)

Thanks for the idea, but it's not working for me. The value tag is empty when the dcr gets saved.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

If that doesn't work - then using FormAPI to hide the field may be the only recourse. You put code in your DCT like previously shown - just leave out the <hidden> tag - and then you have your init() function explicitly hide the field.

You are better off doing this in the .js file because you have more logic there. For instance, if you use the DCT default tag, only new DCRs will get that default. If you do it in .js you can have logic such as if the field is empty give it the default. I would go with the .js because it's more flexible if requirements change, it's not much harder and in some ways it's more clear.

I seem to remember some bugs with hidden and readonly and default text, not sure if these apply to your version.
