set a default value in a form

Question

I would like set a value by default in my form.

I am doing this, but didn\'t work:

$builder->add(\'points\', \'hidden\', array(
            \'data\' =         


        

Answer 1

use 'empty_data' instead of 'data'

$builder->add('points', 'hidden', array(
        'empty_data' => 5000));
