hi,
The "problem" seems to be that the sfPropelForm updateObject() { ...
object -> fromArray($this -> getValues()) } overwrites all the fields
given in the widget / validator schema, as each key is present in the
getValues() array. -- removing the widget / validator for the
corresponding field avoids the problem. Is this the intended behavior?
POST:
Array
(
[project] => Array
(
[title] => Foo
)
)
public function executeCreate($request)
{
$project = new Project;
$project -> setRandomField('Random text');
$form = new ProjectForm($project);
if ($request -> isMethod('post'))
{
$form -> bind($request -> getParameter('project'));
if ($form -> isValid())
{
print_r($form -> getObject()); // [random_field:protected] =>
Random text
$form -> save();
print_r($form -> getObject()); // [random_field:protected] =>
