form type mapped false symfony2

Question

I have a trouble with a formtype with mapped=false.

In controller, I called the form with:

$form = $this->createForm(new JurisdictionUserNewType(

If you set 'mapped' => false on any field, you're saying that that field isn't related to your entity, so you don't get it when you retrieve the entity from the submitted form.

You can get it anyway as a single field from the form, as:

$form->handleRequest($request); 
if ($form->isValid()) { 
    $entity = $form->getData(); 
    $securityUser = $form->get('securityUser')->getData();    
}
