>             Project: Tapestry 5
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: tapestry-core
>    Affects Versions: 5.3

> Since Hidden is not tracked by the Validation Tracker, its value is lost when 
> a page redirects to display validation errors. I'd like to see a new 
> component, say Tracked. I guess it would be the same as Hidden and extend 
> AbstractTextField or similar.
> Why? A common use case is to use Hidden for an entity's version field in a 
> Form to provide optimistic locking. By using Tracked instead of Hidden I 
> could do this...
>       <form t:type="Form" t:id="person" >
>               <t:tracked value="person.version"/>
>               :
>       </form>
> ...instead of this...
>       <form t:type="Form" t:id="person" >
>               <t:hidden value="person.version"/>
>               :
>       </form>
>       // This carries version through the redirect that follows a server-side 
> validation failure.
>       @Persist(PersistenceConstants.FLASH)
>       private Integer versionFlash;
>       void onPrepareForRender() throws Exception {
>               person = findPerson(personId);
>               // If the form has errors then we're redisplaying after a 
> redirect.
>               // Form will restore your input values but it's up to us to 
> restore Hidden values.
>               if (form.getHasErrors()) {
>                       person.setVersion(versionFlash);
>               }
>       }
>       
>       void onFailure() {
>               versionFlash = person.getVersion();
>       }
> Thoughts?
