php - the value for my new input field is not saved -

i add new field 'pokemon' (text field) entity 'user' that, added property in class without problem (and getter/setters)

/** @orm\column(type="string") */ protected $firstname;  /** @orm\column(type="string") */ protected $lastname;  /** @orm\column(type="string") */ protected $pokemon; 

then, user add form, added pokemon part :

class participantform extends form {     public function __construct($name = null)     {         parent::__construct('user');          $this->setattribute('class', 'form-horizontal');          $this->add([             'name' => 'id',             'type' => 'hidden',         ]);          $this->add([             'name'    => 'firstname',             'type'    => 'text',             'options' => [                 'label' => 'first name',             ],         ]);          $this->add([             'name'    => 'lastname',             'type'    => 'text',             'options' => [                 'label' => 'last name',             ],         ]);          $this->add([             'name'    => 'pokemon',             'type'    => 'text',             'options' => [                 'label' => 'pokemon',             ],         ]); 

then in form.pthml, add code :

<div class="form-group">     <label class="col-sm-2 control-label"><?=$this->formlabel($form->get('firstname'))?></label>     <div class="col-sm-10">         <?=$this->formelement($form->get('firstname'))?>         <?=$this->formelementerrors($form->get('firstname'))?>     </div> </div>  <div class="form-group">     <label class="col-sm-2 control-label"><?=$this->formlabel($form->get('lastname'))?></label>     <div class="col-sm-10">         <?=$this->formelement($form->get('lastname'))?>         <?=$this->formelementerrors($form->get('lastname'))?>     </div> </div>  <div class="form-group">     <label class="col-sm-2 control-label"><?=$this->formlabel($form->get('pokemon'))?></label>     <div class="col-sm-10">         <?=$this->formelement($form->get('pokemon'))?>         <?=$this->formelementerrors($form->get('pokemon'))?>     </div> </div> 

in controller, didn't modify , can modify other value of form without problem. and of course, ran update --force update database

i don't know (or see) mistake if has idea lead investigation futher. don't have anymore idea

**edit ** here usercontroller code save data :

public function userformaction() {      /** @var \zend\form\form $form */     $form = $this->formelementmanager->get('user_form');      $id = (int) $this->params()->fromroute('id', 0);      /** @var \application\entity\user $user */     if (0 !== $id) {         try {             $user = $this->entitymanager->getrepository('application\entity\user')->find($id);             $form->bind($user);         } catch (\exception $e) {             return $this->redirect()->toroute('user/list');         }     }      /** @var request $request */     $request = $this->getrequest();      if (!$request->ispost()) {         return ['form' => $form];     }      $form->setdata($request->getpost());      if (!$form->isvalid()) {         return ['form' => $form];     }else{         $user = $form->getdata();          $this->entitymanager->persist($user);         $this->entitymanager->flush();          return $this->redirect()->toroute('user/list');      } } 

edit setters in protected instead of public.. problem fixed, knew stupid
