forms - Access an unmapped field in Symfony2 Controller

Question

I am creating forms with an unmapped field as explained in the form documentation.

However when in the controller or similar I want to access it, currently I am using the POST request array and getting out from there like so:

$postData = $this->getRequest()->request->get('my_form_name');
$unmappedField = $postData['unmapped_field']

I just can't help but thinking this is not the best way, and I cannot find anything on the official documentation.

Is there a better way than this?

You can access unmapped field in form

$unmappedField = $form['unmapped_field']->getData();
