+Handling Extra Fields
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.6
+    The ``allow_extra_fields`` option was introduced in Symfony 2.6.
+
+Usually, if you submit extra fields that aren't configured in your form,
+you'll get a "This form should not contain extra fields." validation error.
+
+You can silence this validation error by enabling the ``allow_extra_fields``
+option on the form::
+
+    $form = $this->createForm(new TaskType(), $task, array('allow_extra_fields' => true));
