Hidden Field
~~~~~~~~~~~~

What does it do?
''''''''''''''''

- **General:** It could be useful to send some values within the form, that should not be displayed in frontend. Use a hidden field for this.
- **Prefill:** This field can be prefilled from FlexForm, TypoScript, GET/Post-Params or from FE_User table.

Frontend Output Example
'''''''''''''''''''''''

Because it is "hidden", there is no visible frontend output :)
