Hi there,
I have been trying with no joy to get a hidden field type with a standard value to save with a group sub-field clone like this:
```
[
'id'        => 'field_id',
'type'      => 'hidden',
'clone_default' => true, // Always clone with the 'std' value
'std'       => 'testing', // Hidden standard value
],
```
I can see the hidden field in the DOM with the std value as above like this:

<div class="rwmb-input" data-clone-empty-start="0"><input type="hidden" id="group_fields_field_id" class="rwmb-hidden" name="group_fields[1][field_id]" data-default="testing" data-clone-default="true"></div>

But the data-default="testing" IE: The "std" value never gets saved in the serialized data for my MB Group Field clones?

I am assuming this is a bug? Or am I missing something?

I look forward to your response!

Hello

I try to reproduce the issue but don't see that on my site. The default value of a hidden field in the cloneable group entry is saved to the database as well. Here is the sample code:
```
[
    'name'              => __( 'Group', 'your-text-domain' ),
    'id'                => $prefix . 'group_pd0few9tv1o',
    'type'              => 'group',
    'clone'             => true,
    'fields'            => [
        [
            'id'              => $prefix . 'hidden_z66lqr03m5k',
            'type'            => 'hidden',
            'std'             => __( '123asdf', 'your-text-domain' ),
            'clone_default'   => true,
        ],
    ],
],
```
I suggest you enable the setting Clone default value for the group field and recheck this issue. Let me know how it goes.

Hi Peter,
thanks for getting back to me. The result is still the same for me. I see no errors in my debug.log or browser console. I did forget to mention that my hidden cloneable field is also within an MB Frontend Form. Can you reproduce the issue in that context?

Thanks!

Hello,

Can you please export the field group to a JSON file and share it here? If you use the code to register the custom fields, please share all the code that you are using. And share a screen record that demonstrates the issue. I will try to reproduce the issue on my end.

Thank you.
