A question in
this topic brought me to the (only faintly related) idea of having an extra ’hidden’ input type option.
There are situations where a TV is used to achieve a particular output without the need of ever changing the TV value when editing a document. The use mentioned in the above topic being one of them - a @SELECT default value with a datagrid widget.
Hence my thought of introducing a ’hidden’ input type which would simply not render a TV input when editing documents. It only takes about 3 lines of code in mutate_content.dynamic.php & mutate_tmplvars.dynamic.php.
Good idea or more trouble than it’s worth?
