This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with - we get no other context for your project.
Imagine this: you go for a drive in the country, but you have a problem with the car. You call the garage, say "it broke" and turn off your phone. How long will you be waiting before the garage arrives with the right bits and tools to fix the car given they don't know what make or model it is, who you are, what happened when it all went wrong, or even where you are?

That's what you've done here. So stop typing as little as possible and try explaining things to people who have no way to access your project!

This is a classic XY problem[^] - you're trying to solve problem X, you've decided the solution must be Y, and you're asking for help implementing Y rather than asking for suggestions to solve X.

The only way to prevent the browser - and thus the end-user - from seeing the value of a hidden field is to not send that field in the markup at all.

Anything you send to the client can be viewed by the client. Even if you managed to find some secret hack to force the page inspector and "view source" option to hide the value in your hidden field, the user could still use a tool such as Fiddler or Wireshark to capture the raw HTML sent back from your server.
