Shouldn't ID be hidden in edit and new forms

[matejvelikonja]

When you have auto generated Id it makes sense that you cannot edit or create it. It's should be hidden by default.

I think they should simply not be part of the form.

But this imply we add some logic on "default" behavior analyzing what is the primary key on so on.

That could be great!

This is not top priority, as you can easily control which fields are displayed by customizing the display or tabs option in New/Edit builder. Marking for next release.

But you can't say which properties you don't want, right? Like blacklisting.

@matejvelikonja currently there is one way to do that:

if you wish to "blacklist" fields, you could do that by extending the FormType.

<?php

namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Form\Type\Post;

use Admingenerated\AcmeDemoBundle\Form\BasePostType\EditType as BaseEditType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;

/**
 * EditType
 */
class EditType extends BaseEditType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        parent::buildForm($builder, $options);

        // assuming you let "by default" all fields
        // you can blacklist a specific field by removeing it in the form type
        $builder->remove('id');
    }
}

Also, I don't actually see value in implementing a "blacklist" feature. As metioned above - we could detect the "primary key" and not include it by default, but "blacklisting" more fields is IMHO doing it the wrong way.

Hi,

But you can't say which properties you don't want, right? Like blacklisting.

No, but by default, if you define which ones you want, others ones are not included
