1)You have to add in your form builder :

a field text widget, unmapped (will contain the text of the user type)
a hidden field, unmapped (will contain the id of the use type)

2)Use the javascript library you want (i.e bootstrap typeahead is a good one).

3)Then, the javascript trigger an ajax method pointing on a action on your controller. This action return a list of user type (most likely encoded in json format)

4) Once the form is submited, in the update/create action of yours, find the entity corresponding to the hidden id submited, and link it to the entity
