Remember, the submitted values from the form are bound to the form, and then
the values are passed to fromArray() on your Doctrine object. If you've used
fromArray() before it is not a magic way to always update your object from
an array of data. It isn't magically able to accept any form data and know
what to do with it in your object. In your case you will need to do some
manual work to update your object properly from the form->getValues().
