Question: how to call HiddenField outside of define_table, as in the
controller? I find that usually, when I hide field, it's because I'm
uniting 2 tables in 1 form and I want to selectively populate fields
in each table, but ultimately, all fields in the tables will be
populated via forms. So I am hiding fields in my controllers, not my
models.
