You could use the "hidden" entry in the editviewdefs metadata like that :

    $viewdefs ['ModuleName'] =
array (
  'EditView' =>
  array (
    'templateMeta' =>
    array (
      'maxColumns' => '2',
      'form' =>
      array (
        'hidden' =>
        array (
          0 => '<input type="hidden" name="MyFiedlName" id="MyFiedlName" value="MyFieldValue">',
        ),
        'buttons' =>
        array (

After adding this code i can not access the hidden field on the edit page by document.getElementById('MyFiedlName').value in javascript as well as in the before_save logic hook connected to this edit page in logic hook. I am accessing the value of hidden field by the $_REQUEST['MyFiedlName'] object. – Sheikh Rahat Ali Jul 26 '12 at 10:28
Did you make a quick repair and rebuild after modify the editviewdefs? Also where do you push your Javascript code? WIth AjaxUi you should to use some methods to launch JS at the correct time like it's describe here : http://developers.sugarcrm.com/wordpress/2011/09/30/improving-sugarcrm-client-side-performance-the-sugarcrm-ajaxui/ – Cédric Mourizard Aug 30 '12 at 05:40
