hi fabien My use case is...
Database record: report: title: varchar type: varchar scale: int theme: varchar user_id: int On the edit page I render the title, scale and theme fields in the form. The type and user_id are not part of the form, and should not change. I instantiate the form with the current object, with the current values: $form = new ReportForm($current_record); I bind the form with the field subset given in the POST array. The "user_id" and "type" fields are then null. cheers dan 2008/11/12 Fabien Potencier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Dan Leech wrote: > > hi all > > > > i think the form framework is great, but ..... > > > > When I bind a form to a request array the values in the object are > > wiped, e.g. if I set the a user_id field before the bind, it is set to > > null after.
