Hi Mark! I belive that there must be a simpler solution to this. I know that I can creata a DynaActionForm and then pupulate that by calling the set-method. So shouldn't it be possible to create a DynaActionForm in a "populateAction" and then put it into a "scope" with a key and then forward to the (html)form?
