I think you are using $form->addElement() in a worng way, the API says the following:
$element may be either a string element type, or an object of type Zend_Form_Element. If a string element type is provided, $name must be provided, and $options may be optionally provided for configuring the element. If a Zend_Form_Element is provided, $name may be optionally provided, and any provided $options will be ignored. So the addElement() does not restore previous elements in the form by passing it's name as first parameter, if you want the element to be part of the form again you must create it again. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Zend-Form-adding-and-removing-elements-from-controller-tp1594446p1594564.html Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
