Can't insert dynamic value into HiddenField

I'm trying to automatically insert a dynamic value into a HiddenField, but I can't get it working. At the moment I just get 'value="0"'.

This is a simplified version of what I'm trying to do:

static $db = array(
    'MyID' => 'Int'
);

public function getCMSFields()
{
    $fields = parent::getCMSFields();

    $myID = 9999; // In my code this value is set dynamically

    return new FieldList(
        new HiddenField('MyID', 'My ID', $myID)
    );
}

My dynamic value definitely works as I'm able to var_dump() it.

Can anyone explain why this doesn't work?
