x-model variable not updating for hidden input

[koltejas]

Hi everyone!
I have a form with a hidden input field which has a x-model="memno" which I need to submit with form. The value of memno changes from a livewire search component.
This works when the input type is other than "hidden", but when input type is hidden, the value of memno is not changing.
Strangely, there is another hidden field with a different x-model (x-model="accode") which works fine. Any ideas what is going wrong here? Thanks in advance
code attached as its not showing here correctly.
