autoHydrateEntityFromInput not working on update?

[warrenca]

Hi! I have this code below which is basically an update to a an entry in the Country table and I was wondering that when I enable autoHydrateEntityFromInput it is not working. When the scenario is "save" it works. Am I doing it all wrong or is it really not how it works.

public function postCountryEdit($id) {
    $country = Country::find($id);
    // no need to populate each field since we are using Ardent hydrate..

    if ($country->save())
    {
        Session::flash('success','Country update success!');
        return Redirect::to('country/edit/'.$id);
    }else{
        $error = $country->errors()->all();
        Session::flash('error', $error );            
        return Redirect::to('country/edit/'.$id);
    }
}

Same problem here, how do you update in a nice Ardent fashion?

[Solved] ow... I saw that there's a public property $forceEntityHydrationFromInput which can be set to true. But I think this one must be enabled per scenario (save, update, etc.) and must not be set in the model. Below is my solution in a method on a Controller.

public function postCountryEdit($id) {
    $country = Country::find($id);
    // no need to populate each field since we are using Ardent hydrate..

    $country->forceEntityHydrationFromInput = true;
    if ($country->save())
    {
        Session::flash('success','Country update success!');
        return Redirect::to('country/edit/'.$id);
    }else{
        $error = $country->errors()->all();
        Session::flash('error', $error );            
        return Redirect::to('country/edit/'.$id);
    }
}
