I would like to edit an element description in the action controller. I'm trying to do it like this:
$form->element->setAttrib('description', '');
But it doesn't work. Any ideas?

A:
You have to define your own form element decorators, omitting the description decorator. Check this tutorial for details.

Thanks. I know about decorators. What I needed to do is to have the decorators include the description attribute but remove the description in controller based on data from the request object. I have figured out how to do it already (I used $form->element->removeDecorator('description'); in the action controller).

A:
To actually remove the description data, rather than the description decorator, you can use:
$form->getElement('elementName')->setDescription('');

Well, that's what I did (see my OP - it's just an alternative using magic __get()) and it didn't work. I had to remove the decorator to get rid of the description.

Oh. Well, I have no good answer for that I'm afraid, other than it works for me (ZF 1.9).
