This is using FormBuilder?
I have not used FormBuilder in a while but wouldn't you want something
like:
$form->field->{foo};
or
$form->field('foo');
$c->req->parameters->{foo} is the raw posted data. I would assume it
could be different if the form validation process modified the input
data.
For example, in Form::Processor, a date input might be one or more
elements of $c->req->parameters, but you would access it as
$form->field('some_date')->value;
( or shorthand $form->value( 'some_date' ) )
and that would return a DateTime object.
