How to set a value in a form in Symfony2?

Question

To set a value in a form programmatically with Symfony2, after a form has been created, I've found that the following way works:

$form_data = $form->getData();
$form_data['name'] = 'new value';
$form->setData($form_data);

This is awkward, isn't there a simpler way like $form->set('name', 'new value'); ?

@DainisAbols nope, I saw that question. I don't want a default value, I want to change after the form has been set up. — stivlo, Jan 17 '13 at 15:27
