Thanks so much for your reply! The bind overriding seems like the best solution, that means the extra values are attached to the form, which an be used in multiple apps.
The only problem is my manually processed value require input from the form. How do I get that from the bind() method? I could set the extra variables to be in the array returned by $request->getParameter($form- >getName()), but then I get an exception because there's values in the array that don't correlate to a model field. Any suggestions?
