Hello,
using newforms how can I set fields to be hidden (the hidden="hidden"
attribute)?

Thanks,

Florian

Did you mean type="hidden" ?

You can create your own widget if you need to.

Or you can just use the HiddenInput widget that already exists. Here's
how you'd declare a hidden text field:

class SomeForm(forms.Form):
my_text = forms.CharField(max_length=20, widget=forms.HiddenInput)
