If you want to pass custom Controller to a form for while rendering a partial form you can use this    lt    render  form    locals   gt    controller   gt   my controller    action   gt   my action    gt    and then in the form partial use this local variable like this    lt    form for  post   url   gt  url for  controller   gt  locals  controller    action   gt  locals  action    html   class        do  f  -  gt
