The direct answer

A hidden field can be modified by the requester. It should not grant authority to choose arbitrary internal recipients or access another location's records.

A practical check

Review authorized backend behavior for unsupported location and service values. Use controlled tests that do not send real messages.

Choosing the next step

Validate context against approved routing records and protect privileged operations. A polished form is only the visible portion of the inquiry system.
