Hello,
the ExampleType.php only displays the username field. I've changed the order of one parenthesis and the two fields (username and password) are displayed perfectly. This is the changed code:

    $builder->add('credentials',new FieldsetType(),array(
        'label' => false,
        'required' => false,
        'mapped' => false,
        'title' => 'Credentials',
        'subforms' => array(
                array(
                    'name'=>'username',
                    'type'=>'text',
                    'attr'=> array(
                                'required' => true
                             )
                ),
                array(
                    'name'=>'password',
                    'type'=>'password',
                    'attr'=> array(
                                'required' => true
                             )
                )
            )
        )
    );

Thanks for sharing the code. It's very useful and a good example.

Thank you for taking the time to report the issue.

Hello, and thanks for this interesting piece of code.
However I have some doubts regarding the use of the field's mapped attribute set to false:

Here is my sample Silex app:

<?php
$loader = require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$loader->add("Acme",__DIR__);

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Silex\Provider\FormServiceProvider;
use Silex\Provider\TwigServiceProvider;
use Silex\Provider\TranslationServiceProvider;

use Acme\ExampleType;

$app = new \Silex\Application();
$app['debug'] = true;
$app->register(new TranslationServiceProvider());
$app->register(new FormServiceProvider());
$app->register(new TwigServiceProvider(), array(
    'twig.path' => __DIR__ . '/Acme',
    'twig.templates' => array(
        'form.twig' => "{% form_theme form 'fields.twig' %}
<h4>Userform</h4>
{{ form(form) }}
",
        'fields.twig' => "{% block fieldset_widget %}
    {% spaceless %}
        <fieldset {{ block('widget_container_attributes') }}>
            {% if title is defined %}<legend>{{ title }}</legend>{% endif %}
            {{ form_widget(form) }}
        </fieldset>
    {% endspaceless %}
{% endblock %}"
    ),
));


$app->get('/', function () use ($app) {
    $form = $app['form.factory']->create(new ExampleType());
    return $app['twig']->render('form.twig', array(
        'form' => $form->createView()
    ));
});

$app->post('/', function (Request $request) use ($app) {
    $form = $app['form.factory']->create(new ExampleType());
    $form->handleRequest($request);
    if (!$form->isSubmitted()) {
        return new Response("NOT SUBMITTED", 500);
    }
    return print_r($form->getData(), true);
});


$app->run();
?>

When it's false:

Array
(
    [firstname] => Foo
    [lastname] => Bar
    [email] => [email protected]
)

When mapped is the default value (true) I get:

Array
(
    [firstname] => Foo
    [lastname] => Bar
    [email] => [email protected]
    [credentials] => Array
        (
            [username] => Oof
            [password] => 
        )

)

It's kind of a pain too, having to refer to the fieldset values as $data['credentials']['username'] ...
