Howto set template individually in multiple formtabs?

Hi!
I wondered if someone could help me out here.
I have a MIGX-TV with mupltiple formtabs.
Each of these formtabs geneates a box (like a widget in other cms) for my sidebar.
The problem is, that they all should have different templates.
I know i could set the chunk with the "@FIELD:MIGX_formname" but I don't want to do it this way. (Doesn't look nice for the customer)
So i thought of setting a hidden TV with a default value for each formtab.
Worked fine, but sometimes the default value get overwritten by another, when changing the formtab with the dropdown.

For example I have my formtabs-dropdown and "Downloads" is selected by default. Now i change to "Textbox" and this is what i get in html:

<input type="hidden" id="tvdef53_6" value="textbox">
<input id="tv53_6" name="tv53_6" type="hidden" value="downloadsbox">

As you can see migx takes the value "downloadsbox" from the "Downloads"-formtab instead of using "textbox".

Is there any way I can prevent this?
Or any other possibility of setting a default template for each formtab I didn't think of?

Thanks!

this should be possible with a special hidden-tv-type.
I named it 'hidden_fixvalue' , code is nearly the same as for the hidden-TV:

file core/model/modx/processors/element/tv/renders/mgr/input/hidden_fixvalue.class.php

<?php
/**
 * @package modx
 * @subpackage processors.element.tv.renders.mgr.input
 */
class modTemplateVarInputRenderHiddenFixvalue extends modTemplateVarInputRender {
    public function getTemplate() {
        return 'element/tv/renders/input/hidden_fixvalue.tpl';
    }
}
return 'modTemplateVarInputRenderHiddenFixvalue';

file manager/templates/default/element/tv/renders/input/hidden_fixvalue.tpl

<input id="tv{$tv->id}" name="tv{$tv->id}" type="hidden" value="{$tv->get('default_text')|escape}"" />

<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
{literal}
MODx.on('ready',function() {
    var fld = MODx.load({
    {/literal}
        xtype: 'hidden'
        ,applyTo: 'tv{$tv->id}'
        ,value: '{$tv->get('value')|escape:'javascript'}'
    {literal}
    });
    var p = Ext.getCmp('modx-panel-resource');
    if (p) {
        p.add(fld);
        p.doLayout();
    }
});
{/literal}
// ]]>
</script>

-------------------------------

you can buy me a beer, if you like MIGX

Thanks Bruno!
You really know your stuff - never had such a great support on a modx-package!
