silverstripe-hiddenfields
=========================

[](#silverstripe-hiddenfields)

Takes form fields you specified through $hidden\_fields and hides them from the edit form. I found if you completely remove the field then the value doesn't get saved to the database and you end up with child without a parent relationship.

Instead this extension replaces the field with a hiddenfield.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Install using composer `composer require "svandragt/silverstripe-hiddenfields:*"`
2. Attach the DataExtension to your DataObjects / Page types through the configuration system:

```
Object::add_extension("DataObject","HiddenFieldsDataExtension");

```
