Hidden Input builder
Use the Hidden Input builder to pass in form data that the user does not specify.
The Hidden Input builder adds an <input type=hidden> element to one or more pages in the model. You can use the Hidden Input builder to pass data during a form submission that the user does not specify, fro example, the current time, or any other information that you need, but do not want the user to specify.
- Use an indirect reference to pass a value from the model as a hidden input
- You can pass the value of a variable or a value returned by a method or service call by specifying its name in the Reference Chooser.
- Use Java code to pass the current date or other computed value
- You can pass a value computed from Java code with the following syntax:
${Java/webAppAccess.getHttpServletRequest().getLocale()}Passes the locale of the user to the action processing the form.

- Using input mappings for builder calls in a repeated region
Typically, when you use a Button, Image Button, Form Submit Action, or Link builder call within a repeated region, you want to execute some action and pass data specific to the row as arguments to that action.
