I figured there must be some way to do the same thing and use it for
whatever reason.
Thanks for the info all the same.

it is not possible
the controller has no direct link to the form helper
especially not after a post (and therefore BEFORE the form is rendered
again).
controller + model are finished before the view even starts to render.
you would need to embed the keys as a hidden field in the form itself
(+ hash etc to disallow any modifications).
but then you could just as well use the security component and you
would be already done.
so i dont see a point in that.
i agree that it can be a pain in the but.
in some rare occasions you could use blacklisting (especially if you
only want to forbid 1 field of 50 allowed fields).
in other occasions you would store those field names in a (long?)
array in the model and simply use it in the controller
$this->Model->allowedFieldsForEdit
etc
either way linking the form helper / form inputs to the model logic
can probably do more harm than good.
i would think about which fields are allowed and manually pass them to
the set/save methods. using the model arrays to store the fields will
also ensure that after an update of the schema you got all field names
in a single place. less likely you will forget to add/delete fields.
