Zend_Form::setOptions() delays the setElementDecorators() call to after
all other configuration, so that any elements set using configuration
will then be affected by it. There is no way to override it.
An easier approach is to define an array of default decorators you want
to use as an class property:
public $defaultElementDecorators = array(...);
Then, omit your elementDecorators declaration, and declare your
decorators for each element by referencing this property:
'foo' => array(
'decorators' => $this->defaultElementDecorators
),
For elements where you want custom decorators, you do as you were doing
previously.
