Well, in the console I cannot be arsed to continually type forms.SomeThing, so I imported * from django.forms, but this is largely irrelevant. You still haven't shown that it doesn't hide the field, eg by posting the output of frm.as_p(), where as I have shown conclusively that it does, so I think something else is going on here. Are you sure the field 'itemid' exists on your model? This is speculation, but I think you don't have a field called itemid on your model, and so are creating an additional field called itemid, which is hidden. You display the form, you don't see the new, hidden, 'itemid' field because it is hidden, but you do see your field which is not called 'itemid', and you then think that the field is not hidden. It's not hard to test this, go to your django console, import the form, instantiate it and call the as_p method. Do you have a hidden field called 'itemid' or not?
