# TODO #
## Version 1.4 ##
* try improving and abstracting the functionality to ignore empty "add new" forms so this does not have
to be managed in the embedding form class anymore
- 1st option is to add a `considerEmptyFields` method to the embedded form class (easy to implement, no need to
update the embedding form class when the embedded form's model changes (add/remove fields), which could be forgotten
- 2nd option is trying to figure out after submit if the form to add a new related record can be considered empty:
* remove all validators that are optional and are empty (needs to be both because the user can also enter something non-required!)
* if the form then has the maximum errors that can exist in the form then the form is empty because the user
did not change anything or filled in any information
Example:
* sfGuardUser model
* fields: username, firstname, lastname, gender, zip, city
* username, firstname, and lastname are mandatory
* gender, zip, and city are optional
* on submit:
* the optional fields are all tested for emptiness ($validator->isEmpty()),
if one is not empty, form is considered "not empty"
* the rest is tested for number of errors so I need to know the maximum number of errors
that can be thrown from there; if this number is equal to the number of errors the form has thrown
after validation then - bingo! - the form is considered "empty"
