Using in Grid filter does not set the value on the hidden input

[tsdogs]

I don't know if it's related to #74 but it happens even if PJax is disabled.

When the DateControl widget is used in a grid filter when the date is changed (and the grid reload is triggered) the searchModel associated hidden input is not initialized and so the filter does not work.

I had to change the controller action to handle this situation as I was not able to find out why this is happening.

My solution was to write the following in the controller: (in the example the ModelSearch[field] hidden input is empty in the request->queryParams)

    public function actionIndex()
    {
        $params = Yii::$app->request->queryParams;
        if (isset($params['field-modelsearch-field'])) {
            $date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', $params['field-modelsearch-field'], new DateTimeZone('Europe/Rome'));
            if ($date && $date instanceof DateTime) {
                $params['ModelSearch']['field']=$date->format('Y-m-d');
            }
        }
        $searchModel = new ModelSearch();
        $dataProvider = $searchModel->search($params);

        return $this->render('index', [
            'searchModel' => $searchModel,
            'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
        ]);
    }
