Symfony2 Setting a default choice field selection
- by Mat
I am creating a form in the following manner:
$form = $this->createFormBuilder($breed)
->add('species', 'entity', array(
'class' => 'BFPEduBundle:Item',
'property' => 'name',
'query_builder' => function(ItemRepository $er){
return $er->createQueryBuilder('i')
->where("i.type = 'species'")
->orderBy('i.name', 'ASC');
}))
->add('breed', 'text', array('required'=>true))
->add('size', 'textarea', array('required' => false))
->getForm()
How can I set a default value for the species listbox?
Thank you for your response, I apologise, I think I should rephrase my question. Once I have a value that I retrieve from the model, how do I set that value as SELECTED="yes" for the corresponding value in the species choice list?
So, that select option output from the TWIG view would appear like so:
<option value="174" selected="yes">Dog</option>
