ASP.NET MVC: Hidden field value does not get rendered using HtmlHelper.Hidden

Question

Something pretty weird is happening with my app:

I have the following property in my ViewModel:

public int? StakeholderId { get; set; }

Answer 1

The helper will first look for POSTed values and use them. As you are posting the form it will pick up the old value of the ID. Your workaround is correct.
