Symfony set the values for form that already created as a formtype

I have created a form type like below

/**
 * Class CreatePosFormType.
 */
class CreatePosFormType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder->add('name', TextType::class, [
            'required' => true,
            'constraints' => [new NotBlank()],
        ]);
        $builder->add('identifier', TextType::class, [
            'required' => true,
            'constraints' => [new NotBlank()],
        ]);
        $builder->add('description', TextType::class, [
            'required' => false,
        ]);
        $location = $builder->create('location', LocationFormType::class, [
            'constraints' => [new NotBlank(), new Valid()],
        ]);
        $location->addModelTransformer(new LocationDataTransformer());
        $builder->add($location);
    }

    public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
    {
        $resolver->setDefaults([
            'data_class' => Pos::class,
        ]);
    }
}

In my controller I have get the form and send the request to the form as below:

$form = $this->get('form.factory')->createNamed('pos', CreatePosFormType::class);
$form->handleRequest($request);

But I need instead of sending the request to the form get the data from the request and set the values for individually I have tried like below:

$form->get('name')->setData('john');

But It's not setting the form field value.

If I set the values to form by above the below error occures

{ "form": { "children": { "name": {}, "identifier": {}, "description": {}, "location": {}, } }, "errors": [] }

You can send the mapped class to the form itself. Like this:

public function createPost(Request $request)
{
    $pos = new Pos();
    $pos->setName('John');
    $form = $this->get('form.factory')->createNamed('pos', CreatePosFormType::class, $pos);

}

You can also send in data through the options. Like this:

public function createPost(Request $request)
{
    $form = $this->get('form.factory')->createNamed('pos', CreatePosFormType::class, null, ['yourVariable' => $yourVariable]);

}

And in the form class you would catch that in your options.

 class CreatePosFormType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
         $yourVariable = $options['yourVariable'];
         //do stuff with your variable
     }

    public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
    {
        $resolver->setDefaults([
            'data_class' => Pos::class,
            'yourVariable' => null,
        ]);
    }
