O.k., so I created a FormState and FormStepState object and filled in all the
values I needed... but forgot to set the FormState object in the FormEngine.
Unfortunately you cannot do this because there is no setter method for that and
the attribute is private of course.
Therefore again to all the Form Module gurus: What is the proper way to fill
data into a form?
Thanks!
