Hidden widgets do not display in the UI. In folder collections that allow users to create new items, you will often want to set a default for hidden fields, so they will be set without requiring an input.

- **Name:** `hidden`
- **UI:** none
- **Data type:** any valid data type
- **Options:**
  - `default`: accepts any valid data type; recommended for collections that allow adding new items
- **Example:**

  ```yaml
  - { label: 'Layout', name: 'layout', widget: 'hidden', default: 'blog' }
  ```
