Pass an entity to a FormType

[atchoukio]

How could I pass an entity to the FormType to populate a select list?

Hi,

We did not try to do this for now. I think the solution is to pass the array of choices in your form type and your entity the basic way Symfony propose.

You may need to create a custom DataTransformer.

If you manage to do something about it, I am very interested, it could improve the bundle and help other.

Thanks

Just for the record, I did a blog post some time ago about doing an autocomplete "the right way" : http://blog.mapado.com/symfony-autocomplete-form-collection-the-right-way/
