    <p>I would like a <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> element to be rendered with additional data on its <code>&lt;option&gt;</code>s. For the sake of example, I'd like to have a service-selector (non-multiple entity-field) that resets another inputs value upon selection change. I'm not interested in using JS data-structures, I need to have the rendered field to look as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;select name="..."&gt; &lt;option value="1" data-price="90"&gt;Service 1&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="2" data-price="40"&gt;Service 2&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; </code></pre> <p>I would take two different solutions and would be glad to see the answer to both of them.</p> <ol> <li>I'd render the field manually in Twig by starting to assemble the above HTML code by using the <code>form</code> variable I passed to the twig. I have two problems solving this. <strong>A)</strong> I can't find a safe way to tell what the filed should be named, i.e. how do I get the <code>name</code> attribute that Symfony expects by using the variable <code>form.service</code> (service is the name of the field in the FormType). [Please spare me tricks that concatenate some values based on observing how fields are <em>currently</em> named by Symfony; one should rely on interfaces and not on reverse engineering.] <strong>B)</strong> I don't know how to access the list of choices, i.e. the array assembled by the <code>entity</code> field's <code>query_builder</code> option. [Since I'm looking for a general solution, I'm not willing to duplicate these items over to a twig-parameter in the controller -- just to avoid such suggestions.]</li> <li>I'd override the rendering of the relevant field blocks, as suggested in the form styling chapter of the cookbook, but there are three problems with that. <strong>A)</strong> I cannot find out which blocks should be overridden (and so I don't find samples). <strong>B)</strong> I would pass parameter from the form builder to the block to let it know what extra <code>data-</code> attributes are to be rendered, but I don't know how to do this. And finally <strong>C)</strong> in those cases where I don't need to deviate from standard rendering (e.g. when the field is multiple) I don't know how to fallback to the default rendering.</li> </ol> <p>So these are actually 5 questions (1A,1B,2A,2B,2C) but I thought them to be more useful to others answered together, since they all address what I think is an undocumented spot regarding choice field rendering.</p>

    2. CO2B,partial) The FormType's $options [along with overriding setDefaultOptions] should suffice to get a flag into buildForm, that can add it to the choice field's parameters; the problem is that custom parameters are not permitted and result in 'The option "%s" does not exist'...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
