[SOLVED] how to set the value of a hidden field in a form

[mwmayer4]

I've done this numerous times, so I guess this is my friday the 13th present. I can't see what I'm doing wrong

//controller code
var myhiddenfield = this.getMyForm().down('#myhiddenfield');
if(myhiddenfield){
   console.log(this.currentRecord.get('FIELD'));  //<---good value.
   myhiddenfield.setValue(this.currentRecord.get('FIELD');
   console.log(myhiddenfield)  //<---no value..
}


//form snippet
buidlItems: function(){
  return [{
      xtype: 'hidden',
      name: myhidenfield,
      itemId: 'myhiddenfield
}]
}

Thanks to the expert team at Valence, problem solved. There actually was nothing wrong with the above code. The problem was that my var parms = this.getMyForm().getForm().getValues(); was being done before the hidden fields were loaded.

a bug duh for me!
