The closing of a form most probably is done because the content of the form should be saved. So you could do a full text search for "BeforeSave". But that way you would have to hook in every event that you can find.
Sometimes it is helpful to also state what you are trying to achieve in order to get tips from the community about the best way to achieve your goal.

If you add a field to a form, even if it is hidden, it could be very easy manipulated before the form is sent. So you might want to set a special value only after the form has been sent or at least want to validate that field. I would recommend using the BeforeSave events to do so.
Otherwise the information sent with the from is not reliable.
Could you be even more precise on what you want to achieve?

You might also what to try the pockets plugin, if you wan to add static content quickly.

BeforeSave would be a model hook. I didn't interpret this as adding content to the post itself, but to the form. But like you say it is not clear.

Goal is to put a hidden field at every form.
Ah why didn't you say so?

Sorry that i didn't explain in detail. Is there any hook? I tried Gdn_Form_Close_Before but didn't work,,,
The only guaranteed hook for form is
BeforeBodyBoxand that only applies to forms with body boxes.I presume you mean comment and discussion forms?
You actually should set hidden values before form is opened the inclusion at the end is automatic.
$Sender->Form->AddHidden('YourField' 'Your Value');Therefore you will just need a suitably early hook for every controller relevant to the views.

PostController_BeforeCommentRenderandPostController_BeforeDiscussionRendergrep is your friend.
Okay... Thanks...
Sorry the inclusion is actually at the beginning but that should not matter anyway.
