How can I access a form from value in a Play Framework 2 template?

I am only able to access a form value in my Play Framework 2 template like this:

@eventForm("options[0].safeToDelete").value.toString()

But I need to also be able to access it from within a method in the template, like this:

optionFields(option: Field)(implicit handler: FieldConstructor, lang: play.api.i18n.Lang) = {
    @option("safeToDelete").value.toString()
}
@optionFields(eventForm("options[0]"))

The first example returns true.

The second one returns Some(true).

How can I get the second one to return true?

In Scala Option[T] is a different way of handling null objects.

It has two subtypes - Some[T] and None. One of the many ways you can handle this is as below,

@option("safeToDelete").value.getOrElse(false).toString
