hidden form field is reset when updating other form components (T4.1.1)?

Hi

I've got 2 forms which both are submitted async (example below). Form 1 
contains a block (innerContainer) with a property selection that should 
be updated when form 2 is submitted. This works ok, but when the 
"innerContainer" is updated, the value of the hidden field "someNumber" 
in form 1 is lost, even though the hidden field is *not* inside 
"innerContainer".
Is there any reason for that behaviour? Any workaround? Maybe another 
way to update the PropertySelection?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
mika


Example:

<div jwcid="container1@Any">

<form jwcid="form1@Form" async="true" updateComponents="container1">

   <input type="hidden" jwcid="someNumber@Hidden"
	value="ognl:someNumber" />

   <div jwcid="innerContainer@Any">

     <select jwcid="@PropertySelection" ...>
       <option>...</option>
     </select>

   </div>

   ....

</form>

</div>


<div jwcid="container2@Any"

<form jwcid="form2@Form" async="true" updateComponents="ognl: 
{'container2', 'innerContainer'}">

...
</form>

</div>

You don't even need the div - just set the style attribute directly  
on the input tag itself.

We too have been using this approach instead of hidden fields for  
storing internal data.

Well, I found a workaround - in case somebody else is running into the 
same problem... I replaced the hidden field with a normal text field, 
but inside a hidden div:

<div style="display: none;">
  <input type="text" jwcid="someNumber@TextField" value=... />
</div>

Works fine for me.

Cheers,
