Oh, i should read that. Looks like inform _does_ set a hidden form element.

yeah - and i wanted to do the opposite. I thought about adding a flag something like ,ignore_refresh that would cause the value to be updated as if it was a new_request or edit page as appsropriate.

but that would be very scary to implement in the current ad_form code structure and i'm not sure it's even possible, so i made a new statisc widget that sets no hidden field.
