Symfony3 EasyAdmin Custom non-auto ID column - symfony

Question

I have setup a database table in which the ID values will be created by my application and NOT the database.
/**
* #ORM\Column(type="bigint", precision=14, options={"unsigned":true})
* #ORM\Id()
* #ORM\GeneratedValue("NONE")
*/
private $id;
This works fine in symfony, but I am trying to edit the table using EasyAdmin and EasyAdmin simply omits the 'id' column.
I found out that I can manipulate edit/new views configuration from EasyAdmin documentation.
Now I have the following configuration (the mentioned id is for Product):
easy_admin:
entities:
- AppBundle\Entity\Category
- AppBundle\Entity\Product
Question:
1- How do I setup the YAML configuration so id field will also appear? I found out that this partially works:
easy_admin:
entities:
Product:
class: AppBundle\Entity\Product
form:
fields:
- 'id'
But this shows only 'id', is there a way to tell that I want 'id' in addition to all the other fields so I don't have to list them manually?
2- My original config is using a list of entities with dash (-) in the YAML file. I am a YAML noob, when I make a Product: key I am not able to use the dash anymore, is there a way to keep using dash list and just make an exception for 'Product? For example the code below does NOT work, it says it is not valid YAML.
easy_admin:
entities:
- AppBundle\Entity\Category
Product:
class: AppBundle\Entity\Product
form:
fields:
- 'id'
Well, for now I solved the problem like this and abandoned the dash notation altogether:
easy_admin:
entities:
Category:
class: AppBundle\Entity\Category
Store:
class: AppBundle\Entity\Store
Product:
class: AppBundle\Entity\Product
edit:
fields:
- { property: 'stores', label: 'Stores', type_options: { by_reference: false } }
form:
fields:
- 'id'
- 'name'
- 'category'
- 'stores'

Q1: you can use customization based on entity controllers. See doc here: https://symfony.com/doc/master/bundles/EasyAdminBundle/book/complex-dynamic-backends.html#customization-based-on-entity-controllers
app/config/config.yml
User:
class: AppBundle\Entity\User
controller: UserBundle\Controller\Admin\UserController
And then in your UserController you can have something like this. Pay attention you must use the exact entity name in method signature: createUserEntityFormBuilder in your case
protected function createUserEntityFormBuilder($entity, $view)
{
$form = parent::createEntityFormBuilder($entity, $view);
$form->add('Anyfield', TextType::class, [
'label' => 'id' // feel free to add other options
]); // add fieldlike you would do in FormType
$form->remove('anyField');
return $form;
}
Q2: I can't answer to this question for sure. I do not use "Dashed" notation.
Maybe take a look at doc here: https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/yaml/yaml_format.html#collections
