> We removed the dispatch actions in Grails 8 already (deprecated in Grails 7). Is _method just left over from that? I had no idea you could even change the method for a form - why wouldn't you either set the form to the intended method or just set the [formmethod](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLButtonElement/formMethod)? It seems like _method is from an earlier implementation when there weren't built in constructs to change the method in html5. No, it is for RestfulServiceController and g:form and has always been there. It is used in the scaffolding plugin. ```html <g:form method="PUT" action="/books"> ``` ``` creates <form method="POST" action="/books"> <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT"> ``` then HiddenMethodFilter wraps the entire request so the entire filter stack (including Spring Security thinks the request is `PUT /books` instead of `POST /books` (what it really is) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
