RE: Euromark function guaranteeFields($requiredFields, $data = null) {

Sorry I think you missed my point.
Example:
I have a form with 50 fields. I would have to manually type out all 50 if
they have to be in the form = pain
Im interested in grabbing all the field names the form has before its
rendered. Then use that in the function before saving

beforeRender() / beforeFilter(){
grab all the fields your form has before rendering it

$form_fields = ??? somefunction to grab all your fields

Then use an array / !in_array / arrys_keys to keep / exclude ones that are
required to be there

$required_fields = array_diff( array('optional', 'fields', 'here'
),$form_fields); //something like that so you type out a few not all type
thing

}

That's what I am wondering, if anyone knows how you could grab a list of
fields in the form.

Thanks,

K

I think it would be best to use a class var in the model.

$this->Model->set(
$this->data,
null,
$this->Model->required_fields
);

You could even have separate field lists for different actions:

$this->Model->set(
$this->data,
null,
$this->Model->required_fields['edit']
);
