How to hide the field but still get the data

I have a submission date field, which i want to automatically be set to now, but i have hidden it, so now the input isn't being fetched when the form is submitted 
Forms\Components\DateTimePicker::make('submission_date')
                    ->hidden()
                    ->default(now())
                    ->dehydrated(),
Forms\Components\DateTimePicker::make('submission_date')
                    ->hidden()
                    ->default(now())
                    ->dehydrated(),

Alternatively, you can use mutateFormDataBeforeSave - https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/panels/resources/editing-records#customizing-data-before-saving 
$data['submission_date'] = now();
$data['submission_date'] = now();
