Submit Id instead of input text value #7

A usefull feature would be to submit a different value to the server instead of what it is in the textbox.

Maybe create a hidden field?

Obviously I've dropped the ball on meaningfully answering this question, but for future reference, the idea behind the onComplete callback is so that you can take the full, rich, original data object and assign anything on it wherever you want, including a hidden input field.
