Bug summary

Use of [@Remote_Addr] yields no result

Specifics

Using "[@Remote_Addr]" as the "Default Setting" for a Hidden Field answer type doesn't appear to work. i.e. the field in the web page source remains as an empty string.

Steps to reproduce

Umb 9.1.2 site with UmbracoForms 9.2.0-rc001 installed and hosted on Windows. Create a form, add a hidden field, and set it's default value to "[@Remote_Addr]" as shown:-

Add the form to a view.
Upload to a Windows server ensuring the site is running "in process" on IIS.
Look at the source of the view.

Expected result

<input type="hidden" name="7f2bea21-54b1-44e9-e9fe-0292315566c9" id="7f2bea21-54b1-44e9-e9fe-0292315566c9" data-umb="7f2bea21-54b1-44e9-e9fe-0292315566c9" class="hidden" value="123.123.123.123"/>

Actual result

<input type="hidden" name="7f2bea21-54b1-44e9-e9fe-0292315566c9" id="7f2bea21-54b1-44e9-e9fe-0292315566c9" data-umb="7f2bea21-54b1-44e9-e9fe-0292315566c9" class="hidden" value=""/>

It should be noted that the actual page in question correctly shows the IP Address as text using @HttpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Connection.RemoteIpAddress.ToString().
