How to change input value in doctrine2

How can I change the attributes of a input form?

I create with this a input (productform.php):

$this->add(array(
                'name' => 'categoryId',
                'attributes' => array(
                        'id' => 'categoryId',
                        'type' => 'hidden',
                        'value' => '',
                ),
        ));

In a previous page I link to the form and set the special value in the url (....com/form/3).

In the indexcontroller.php I get the form with $form = new ProductForm(); and want edit the value and set the special value from the url.

My idea was the $form->setAttribute('categoryId', 'value'); but that not working.

Thanks.

indexcontroller.php

...
        $form = new ProductForm();
        $form->setHydrator(new CategoryHydrator());
        $form->bind(new Product());
        $form->setAttribute('categoryId', 'value');
....

productform.php

...

class ProductForm extends Form
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct('productForm');
        $this->setAttribute('action', 'newproduct');
        $this->setAttribute('method', 'post');

        $this->add(array(

........

$form->get('categoryId')->setValue("value");

Update

So if you just want to fill input, you mean placeholder attribute in html. You can use setAttribute method.

$form->get('categoryId')->setAttribute('placeholder', 'text to show');

The form view helper will not allow arbitrary HTML attributes to be set on the form. This is because it would result in invalid HTML.

If you take a look at Zend\Form\Helper\AbstractHelper there are two properties $validGlobalAttributes and $validTagAttributes which define the allowed tags.

In the case of the form view helper (Zend\Form\View\Helper\Form) The 'valid tag attributes' will be the method, action etc

As you require something custom (for JS possibly?); I would change it to a data- attribute.

 $form->setAttribute('data-categoryId', 'value');

The data- is a valid HTML5 attribute which is useful for adding 'domain data' to HTML elements and is really the 'correct' way to do what you require.
