You definitely need to create 5 separate forms in your actions as one
default value is different for each as you've said (changing a field
value in the template is not a good thing IMO).
To have unique ids, and to be able to validate/save your forms, you need
to change the name format of each form:
$form[$i]->setNameFormat('form['.$i.'][%s]');
This way, you will have ids of the form: form_1_fieldname,
form_2_fieldname, ...
And when validating your form, you will be able to manage each form
separately:
$form[$i]->bind($request->getParameter('form['.$i.']'));
You can also use a FormForEach to have a single form. Then, you only
have 1 form to create and 1 form to validate and save.
