[html-formfu] Date field and rendering a hidden field

[Zbigniew Lukasiak]

This looks quite weird.  When I render my form the hidden field does
not get it's value.

Here is the code:

use strict;
use warnings;

use HTML::FormFu;

my $form = HTML::FormFu->new;
$form->load_config_file( 'e.yml' );
$form->process( { first_instance_date_year => 2008 } );
my $ind = $form->get_all_element( { name => 'event_indicator' } );
$ind->default( 1 );
warn $ind->value;
warn $ind->render;
warn $ind->value;

__OUTPUT__
1 at form.t line 11.
<input name="event_indicator" type="hidden" value="" /> at form.t line 12.
1 at form.t line 13.

So it looks that the hidden field does have the value - but it is not
printed out when rendering. And it happens only after processing the
Date element.

The config file I use:

---
# render_method: tt
elements:
  - label: first_instance_date
    name: first_instance_date
    type: Date
    auto_inflate: 1
  - name: event_indicator
    type: Hidden
    value : 1
id: Event
