too long

Question

I have a simpleform:

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $option){
  $builder
    ->setMethod('POST')
    ->add('isdigital', 'choice', array(
      'choices' => array('0' => 'no', '1' => 'yes'),
  'expanded' => true,
      'multiple' => false,
      'data'=> 0
));
}

I populate this form passing in an array key value, without using doctrine entities.

$this->createForm(new PricingType(), $defaultData);

The attribute 'data' should set the value only for the first time, instead overrides the value passed with the array.

If I remove the 'data' attribute, the radio button actually displays the value passed in the array.

Is there any way I can set the default value only for the first time?

Answer 1

In the entity for the data class that related to PricingType add a __construct():

__construct(){
    $this->isdigital = 0;
}

Now in your controller when you create the $defaultData item which is form the entity Pricing

$defaultData = new Pricing();

This will have the default value you want and you do not need to have the 'data' => 0 line in your form class.
