Cakephp - Populate form associated models

Question

I'm trying to populate a form model with also his associated models.

Main model : Pronostic

Child model (hasMany) : Prono

Controller :

$Pronostic = $this->Pronostic->find('first',array('recursive'=>1,'conditions'=>array('Pronostic.user_id'=>$this->Auth->user('id'),'Pronostic.id'=>$this->request['named']['id'])));
[...]
$this->request->data = $Pronostic;

debug($Pronostic) :
    array(
        'Pronostic' => array(
            'user_id' => '12',
            'id' => '2',
            'name' => 'My nanme',
            'content' => '',
            'star' => '5',
            'active' => '0',
            'slug' => '',
            'created' => '2015-02-11 20:51:26',
            'modified' => '2015-02-12 07:17:57'
        ),

        'Prono' => array(
            (int) 0 => array(
                'user_id' => '12',
                'sport_id' => '0',
                'bookmaker_id' => '0',
                'event_id' => '2',
                'pronostic_id' => '2',
                'league_id' => '0',
                'id' => '20',
                'created' => '2015-02-11 20:57:56',
                'modified' => '2015-02-11 20:57:56',
                'bet' => 'bet1',
                'odd' => '12',
                'amount' => '12',
                'level' => '0'
            ),
            (int) 1 => array(
                'user_id' => '12',
                'sport_id' => '0',
                'bookmaker_id' => '0',
                'event_id' => '1',
                'pronostic_id' => '2',
                'league_id' => '0',
                'id' => '19',
                'created' => '2015-02-11 20:57:56',
                'modified' => '2015-02-11 20:57:56',
                'bet' => 'bet2',
                'odd' => '24',
                'amount' => '24',
                'level' => '0'
            )
        )
    )

View :

    echo $this->Form->create('Pronostic', array('class'=>'form-horizontal widget-login')); 

    echo $this->Form->input('Pronostic.name',array('label'=>false,'class'=>'form-control')); 

    echo $this->Form->input('Pronostic.Prono.'.$Prono['Prono']['id'].'.id',array('value'=>$Prono['Prono']['id'])); 

echo $this->Form->input('Pronostic.Prono.'.$Prono['Prono']['id'].'.bet',array('label'=>false,'class'=>'form-control'));

Pronostic.name is correctly populate, but not Pronostic.

Someone can help me?

Thanks

try to remove Pronostic from Pronostic.Prono for proper population of data in Prono related fields and you will also have to remove '.$Prono['Prono']['id'].' — Abhishek

I get $Prono like this, because there are many Prono by Pronostic :

foreach($Pronostic['Prono'] as $Prono){
    ...
    }
