p:remoteCommand update="@form" does not seem to work on h:inputHidden fields

The following snippet works:

<h:form id="form1">

    <h:inputHidden value="#{bean.field1}" id="field1"/>
    <h:inputHidden value="#{bean.field2}" id="field2"/>
    <h:inputHidden value="#{bean.field3}" id="field3"/>
    <h:inputHidden value="#{bean.field4}" id="field4"/>
    <h:inputHidden value="#{bean.field5}" id="field5"/>
    <h:inputHidden value="#{bean.field6}" id="field6"/>
    <h:inputHidden value="#{bean.field7}" id="field7"/>
    <h:inputHidden value="#{bean.field8}" id="field8"/>
    <h:inputHidden value="#{bean.field9}" id="field9"/>

    <p:remoteCommand name="loadRecord" actionListener="#{bean.loadRecord}" 
        process="@this" 
        update="field1 field2 field3 field4 field5 field6 field7 field8 field9" />

</h:form>

The problem is that when the number of fields to update is large (I have another page with 40 fields) it becomes unmaintainable.

I tried to use instead

<p:remoteCommand name="loadRecord" actionListener="#{bean.loadRecord}" 
  process="@this" update="@form" />

but the fields are not updated. Any ideas?

UPDATE:

This problem is not restricted to hidden fields, it seems to apply to any input field for example to 

<h:inputText id="name" value="#{bean.name}" />

You can wrap your fields (if they are grouped together) in a Naming Container. Then you only have to update the naming container and all it's content will be updated as well. Your h:form is already a NamingContainer, but if you do not want to update your whole form you can try this:

<p:outputPanel id="myContainer">
  <h:inputHidden value="#{bean.field1}" id="field1"/>
  <h:inputHidden value="#{bean.field2}" id="field2"/>
  <h:inputHidden value="#{bean.field3}" id="field3"/>
  <h:inputHidden value="#{bean.field4}" id="field4"/>
  ...
</p:outputPanel>

<p:remoteCommand name="loadRecord" actionListener="#{bean.loadRecord}" 
    process="@this" 
    update="myContainer" />

You should use the id of the form you want to update. In your case update="form1"
