[html-formfu] multiple submit buttons

[Byron Young]

Hey there,

Maybe my google-fu is weak, but I can't find an answer to my questions, although I ran across some similar ones.

I'm using Catalyst 5.08001 and HTML::Formfu 0.02004 (old, I know!  I fear change) with Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu 0.02000.

We are adding a second submit button to a bunch of our forms, so now we have two submits with the same name and different values, and we check the value to see what do to after processing the form.  The first problem we encountered is that if the form needs to re-displayed, like if there is a validation error, both submit buttons with show the value of the one that was used to submit the form.  Is there a way to remove the value of a parameter before displaying the form so both buttons use the values from the yml file?

We then tried setting different names on the two submit buttons, but the indicator form setting only supports one name or a coderef.  I'm trying to keep all the form configs in yml files and not move it up into my controller code, but I'm willing to have my forms use a method in my CRUD base controller for the indicator, which would check whether one of the two submit buttons was used.  How can I set indicator to a coderef in yml?  Is it possible?  I tried:

  indicator: &Some::Package::some_method

and

  indicator: Some::Package::some_method

with no luck.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!
