Multiple forms of same type - Symfony 2

Question

So I have my controller action similar to this

$task1 = new Task();
$form1 = $this->createForm(new MyForm(), $task1);

$task2 = new Task();
$form2 = $this         


        

Answer 1

// your form type
class myType extends AbstractType
{
   private $name = 'default_name';
   ...
   //builder and so on
   ...
   public function getName(){
       return $this->name;
   }

   public function setName($name){
       $this->name = $name;
   }

   // or alternativ you can set it via constructor (warning this is only a guess)

  public function __constructor($formname)
  {
      $this->name = $formname;
      parent::__construct();
  }

}

// you controller

$entity  = new Entity();
$request = $this->getRequest();

$formType = new myType(); 
$formType->setName('foobar');
// or new myType('foobar'); if you set it in the constructor

$form    = $this->createForm($formtype, $entity);

now you should be able to set a different id for each instance of the form you crate.. this should result in
