No. The controller never needs to touch or know about the form builder. That's defined in the view and only in the view. The controller just needs to pass in the dynamic data. > > Is this path possible? No. You can't pass a FormBuilder as an HTTP parameter -- HTTP paramaters are always strings. Fortunately, you don't need to, as I explained above.
