How to return entity object type from EntityType class in form? - forms

Question

Every time I try to send data from form and use doctrine manager I have an error:
As you can see, this problem is according to user_type. I have another entity UserType in which I have this attribute and I want to use it in register form.
I have controller and I want to add all form input into database and then error occurs.
I would like to point out that I don't want to get and set each attribute manually via for instance:
$name = $form['name']->getData();
$userDetails->setName($name);
Because I think that by using entity manager it is supposed to do automatically like this:
UserController.php:
public function register(Request $request){
$user = new User();
$userType = new UserType();
$userDetails = new UserDetails();
$form = $this->createForm(RegisterFormType::class, $user);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if($form->isSubmitted()){
$userDetails = $form->getData();
$em=$this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist($userDetails);
$em->flush();
dd($form->getData());
My form in RegisterFormType.php:
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
-> add('name',TextType::class,[
'data_class' => UserDetails::class,
'attr' => [
"placeholder" => 'Name'
],
])
-> add('surname',TextType::class,[
'data_class' => UserDetails::class,
'attr' => [
"placeholder" => 'Surname'
],
])
->add('email',TextType::class,[
'attr' => [
"placeholder" => 'Email'
]
])
->add('password',PasswordType::class,[
'attr' => [
"placeholder" => 'Password'
]
])
->add('confirmPassword',PasswordType::class,[
'attr' => [
"placeholder" => 'Confirm Password'
]
])
/* ->add('user_type',ChoiceType::class, [
'help' => 'Do you want to perform? Choose Artist account type. Do you want to employ artist? Choose Firm.',
'label' => "Account type",
'choices' => [
'None' => 0,
'firm' => 1,
'artist' => 2
],
'attr' => [
"class" => 'choice'
]
])*/
->add('user_type',EntityType::class, [
'class' => UserType::class,
'choice_label'=>'type',
/*'choice_label'=>'type',
'choice_value' => function ($entity) {
return $entity ? $entity->getId() : '';
},*/
])
;
}
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults([
'data_class' => User::class,
]);
}
After submitting input in form I get this data:
The problem is user_type sends as a string I suppose, but should as an object. Am I right?

Any ideas what am I doing wrong? Thank you for your time in advance. Have a nice day!
