I'm gonna take a wild guess here, but I think he's talking about
autopouplation, eg:
controller: $this->set(compact('departments'));
view:
$form->select('department_id')
as apposed to:
$form->input('department_id', array('type' => 'select'));
I stumbled upon this over the weekend. It took me about 2 hours before
I realized that with prepopulated data, you must use $form->input().
