How to choose displayed field of a form after 'choices' findall? - forms

Question

I would like to choose an other field to display in my form checkboxes.
My Entity Filter has three attributes id, name and subtitle.
My code displays my name values, how to display subtitle values ?
My FormBuilder (Controller):
$formFilter = $this->createFormBuilder()
->add('_', ChoiceType::class,array(
'choices' => $this->getDoctrine()->getManager()->getRepository('loicFilterBundle:Filter')->findAll(),
'multiple' => true,
'expanded' => true,
'choice_label' => function($value, $key, $index) {
return ($value);
},
))
->add('Appliquer filtres', SubmitType::class)
->getForm();
Filter:
namespace loic\FilterBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**

Answer 1

You should switch your from field type to EntityType (extends ChoiceType).
There you can overwrite the way the choice_label property is generated.
use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\Type\EntityType;
$builder->add('category', EntityType::class, array(
'class' => 'AppBundle:Category',
'choice_label' => function ($category) {
return $category->getDisplayName();
}
));

Answer 2

Thank you it works. ;)
Also, we can just write the field name like:
'choice_label' => 'subtitle', .
However I wonder how the field was choosen with my previous code.
