[Semediawiki-user] [SF] Store UUID as hidden field ?

[James H. K. <jam...@gm...>]

Hi Yaron,

Since we found a way to generate a UUID, we hoped to save this
information in a hidden field during the processing of a form. We
defined {{{field|uuid|hidden|default={{UUID}} }}}  but unfortunately
the default value does not recognized the magic word (or template) and
with it we are unable to save this information.

The only way to ensure that the uuid is saved in the corresponding
template, is that the user copy the information by hand from a display
field, but I don't think this is feasible for the user nor a secure
way that the information get stored at all.

I might remember we had a similar discussion a while ago in how to set
the name of upload files other than the variable <page name>.

A workaround would much appreciated.

Cheers,

MWJames
