Hi,

regarding this problem I tried to create an Element::Label.
There is an attribute non_param which should remove the value from  
$form->param
if set (that's what I read from the docs).

Here is a simple test (patch) which shows, that field which have this
attribute set are updated in the model anyway.

+$el->non_param(1);

+            'id'                  => 2,

+
+    ok( $form->submitted_and_valid );
+
+    my $row = $schema->resultset('User')->find(2);
+
+    $form->model->update($row);
+}
+
+{
+    my $user = $schema->resultset('User')->find(2);
+
+    is( $user->name, 'new nick' );
+
+}

Is this the intended behaviour?

cheers,
