Using hidden field with inline in DCT

TeamSite 5.5.2 Win2K

Is it possible to have a hidden DCT field call an inline command?

<item name="Hidden">
<hidden required="f">
<inline command=......../>
</hidden>
</item>

When I add such an item to my DCT, the form is displayed, but it appears that the inline command has not executed. I view source on the DCT and I see:

<input type="hidden" name="Hidden" value="">

I have the same inline command being called from another element in the DCT it works ok, but when I change to hidden it is not.

What do you expect to happen?

What is your inline returning?

Do you know that the DTD says that a <hidden> element can only contain <allowed>, <callout>, and <cgi-callout> elements as sub-elements?

I suspect that you are trying to return a <default>, and it is probably being ignored.
