[Solved] Manipulation of formData via php-plugin OnLoad

[mudshark79]

while elaborating on the possibilities to expand the scope of prefiltering the options of a database-join dropdown I found, that contrary to the wiki it is not possible to alter the formdata with

$formModel->updateFormData('element', 'value', true);

when onload. Can you confirm this? This is a bug, isn't it? Even though I found another way to get the wanted result for my initial problem I'm afraid that data-maipulation OnLoad is needed sooner or later.... also the WIKI says, that this should work onload.
Tested on two different installation (joomla 3.3.6 and last tuesdays github code)...

Fabrik 3.1:
$formModel->data //onload: use full element names 'table___element' e.g. $formModel->data['table___element']='abc';

updateFormDate is for "Updating a form's value on Save"

Thanks, I See now. I Stand corrected. Saved my day

Although you pointed it out in the wiki - a little bit further down the same wiki article was leading me to wrong assumptions so I added your part there:
