symfony2 form entity option value

Question

i need to create a form with symfony that has an entity type, so this is im using

->add('assignee', 'entity', array(
           'label' => 'Assignee',
           'class'  => 'PortalBundle:TrnUser',
           'property' => 'username',
           ))

in the generated html it assigns userid as the option value, but i need the username as the option value. something like,

<option value="admin">admin</option>

how can i do this? please help.

thanks..

You need data transformers. They help you to show data in form as you want. There you can find all information about Data Transformers in Symfony2:

You could use the 'choice_value' option with the name of the field you want to use instead of the id.

        $builder
        ->add('user', 'entity', [
            'class' => 'YourBundle\Entity\Locations',
            'property' => 'name',
            'choice_value' => 'name',
            'required' => true,
        ])
