What does this parameter-name="dummy" means ??

Hi,

<field name="amountApplied" parameter-name="dummy"><display  type="currency" currency="${currencyUomId}"/></field>

What does this parameter-name="dummy" means ??
I have seen its xsd file but didn't get its importance.

Can anybody of you explain me the usage of this attribute in detail ??
What happened if we didn't use this attribute ??

Regards

A guess on my part is that it is a way to make sure that a parameter  
field does not get parsed into the form field.  Otherwise, if there's  
an amountApplied on the form URL parameter, it will be populated on  
the form.

I think Hans wrote this.  Am I right, Hans?

Yes, I think that would be the effect of doing that.
