I understand that I can use @Html.HiddenFor(m => m.parameter) and when the form is submitted, that parameter will be passed to the controller. My model has many properties.
Is there a shorter way of passing the entire model at once to the controller or must I do it one by one each time?

The other way of passing the data from Controller to View can be by passing an object of the model class to the View. Erase the code of ViewData and pass the object of model class in return view. Import the binding object of model class at the top of Index View and access the properties by @Model.
Use a query parameter to denote which form is being posted. Use a different form name, but still with the view model. Use a redirect-only Action for the form (send new instances, and only part of the viewmodel) Use a mixture of the above.
There are a total of 13 overloaded ways to use and implement @Html. BeginForm.
The model will be passed to the controller in its entirety, but the values of properties that are not bound by input or hidden fields will be lost.
You have to either bind the properties in the form on the client-side, or re-fetch the entity on the server-side.
You seem to be asking for something like @Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Model), and that is not possible. Sorry
One thing to keep in mind, if you have tons of hidden fields, you may be sending more data to the view than you really need. Consider employing view models
