CI4 add value to post array

In a controller I receive the data in post and I need to add a value to the post array

I get that, but I was wondering why? Normally once you have the post data you pass it off to a model for evaluation. If you wanted to add another arbitrary value you could do so and then pass it off to a model, perhaps you could give us a little bit more background information so we can help?
