Feat: support hidden widget in files collections

Repo: chokeul8r/gncms

I am attempting to use NetlifyCMS in a Gatsby Landing Page project for the first time. My problem relates to the config.yml file and Template key field in particular. The template key is not showing up in my frontmatter and/or my graphgl query.

backend:
  name: git-gateway
  branch: master

media_folder: static/assets
public_folder: assets

collections:
  - label: "Pages"
    name: "pages"
    files:
      - label: "Home Page"
        name: "home"
        file: "content/home.md"
        fields:
          - {
              label: "Template Key",
              name: "templateKey",
              widget: "hidden",
              default: "home-page",
            }
          - { label: Background Image, name: backgroundimage, widget: image }
          - { label: Title, name: title, widget: string }
          - { label: Sub-Title, name: subtitle, widget: string }
          - { label: Intro text, name: intro, widget: text }
          - { label: Body text, name: body, widget: text }
          - { label: Profile Image, name: profileimage, widget: image }
      - label: "Thank You Page"
        name: "thank-you"
        file: "content/thank-you.md"
        fields:
          - {
              label: "Template Key",
              name: "templateKey",
              widget: "hidden",
              default: "thank-you-page",
            }
          - { label: Title, name: title, widget: string }
          - { label: Intro text, name: intro, widget: text }
          - { label: Image, name: image, widget: image }

What was the solution for that one ? I have the same problem on my side, the Collections works well, but I get a templateKey : null for my Files.

In that exemple : https://github.com/robertcoopercode/gatsby-netlify-cms/blob/master/static/admin/config.yml They use it, but seems doesn’t work at all on my side 😕

Thanks @erezrokah. This method is a bit beyond my capabilities for now. 😃 I added a select widget and a minor inconvenience to the user.
