 * This does not appear to work.
 * Deep within /ninja-forms/includes/Templates/fields-hidden.html, the template 
   does not allow for the “name” attribute (or “id”) of a hidden field to be anything
   but nf-field-{{{ data.id }}}
 * Full code from fields-hidden.html:
 *     ```
       <script id="tmpl-nf-field-hidden" type="text/template">
           <input type="hidden" id="nf-field-{{{ data.id }}}" name="nf-field-{{{ data.id }}}" class="{{{ data.renderClasses() }}} nf-element" type="text" value="{{{ data.value }}}" {{{ data.renderPlaceholder() }}}>
       </script>
       ```
   
 * Furthermore, it would be better if within /ninja-forms/includes/Fields/Hidden.
   php, NF_Fields_Hidden had ‘custom_name_attribute’ in its settings so that something
   like…
 *     ```
       "{{ data.custom_name_attribute || 'nf-field-' + data.id }}"
       ```
   
 * …would be possible, as is done in /ninja-forms/includes/Templates/fields-textbox.
