Render form without value in Symfony2

I'm building a form which have default value in some fields:

$builder->add('field', 'text', array('data' => 'Default value');

Then render this form field in Twig like:

{{ form_widget(form.field) }}

It's worked OK, but I don't want 'Default value' set in input tag rendered in HTML, because I only want this default value set internal that End-user doesn't aware about this value. Is there any built-in method in Symfony2 to handle it or I have to make some custom code?

You could modify your entity in order to do this:

class MyEntity{

    const DEFAULT_FOO = "Default value";
    // ...

    private $foo;

    // ...

    public function setFoo($foo){
        if ( $foo === null ){
            $foo = self::DEFAULT_FOO;
        }

        $this->foo = $foo;
    }

    // ...
}

And then make sure that you set by_reference in order to ensure setter is being invoked each time:

$builder->add('field', 'text', array(
    'by_reference' => true
));

As far i understand

try to add required false and handle it in your controller action.

$builder->add('field', 'text', array('required' => false));
