option selected in entity field type - symfony

Question

I have this entity, using the query builder I get a list of options to display in a select, then I want to select one of this option. I'm using 'data' to select the option with id = 1 but it doesn't work, any idea on how to select an option?
thanks
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
if($options['project'] instanceof Cpj\ProjectsBundle\Entity\Project){
$projectId = $options['project']->getId();
}
else{
$projectId = null;
}
if($options['sprint'] instanceof Cpj\ProjectsBundle\Entity\Sprint ){
$sprintId = $options['sprint']->getId();
}
else{
$sprintId = null;
}
$builder
->add('type', 'choice', array(
'choices' => array(
'' => '--',
'new' => 'New',
'bugfix' => 'Bugfix'
)))
->add('name', 'text')
->add('project', 'entity', array(
'class' => 'CpjProjectsBundle:Project',
'property' => 'name',
'empty_value' => '--',
'empty_data' => null,
'required' => false,
'query_builder' => function(EntityRepository $er) {
return $er->createQueryBuilder('u')
->where("u.user = :id_user")
->setParameter('id_user', $this->user);
},
'data' => $projectId,
))
->add('sprint', 'entity', array(
'class' => 'CpjProjectsBundle:Sprint',
'property' => 'name',
'empty_value' => '--',
'empty_data' => null,
'required' => false,
'query_builder' => function(EntityRepository $er) {
return $er->createQueryBuilder('u')
->where("u.user = :id_user")
->setParameter('id_user', $this->user);
},
'data' => $sprintId,
))
->add('importance', 'text')
->add('storypoints', 'text')
->add('description', 'textarea')
->add('howtoprove', 'textarea')
->add('save', 'submit');
}
public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'project' => null,
'sprint' => null,
));
}
public function __construct ($user)
{
$this->user = $user;
}
public function getName()
{
return 'story';
}
this is the action I'm using
public function newAction(Request $request)
{
$user = $this->getUser();
$story = new Story();
$id_project = $request->query->get('project');
$id_sprint = $request->query->get('sprint');
$form = $this->createForm(new StoryType($user), $story);
$form->getData()->getProject()->setValue($id_project);
$form->getData()->getSprint()->setValue($id_sprint);
$form->setData($form->getData());
$project = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('CpjProjectsBundle:Project')->findOneBy(array(
'id' => $id_project,
'user' => $user,
));
$sprint = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('CpjProjectsBundle:Sprint')->findOneBy(array(
'id' => $id_sprint,
'user' => $user,
));
$form = $this->createForm(new StoryType($user), $story, array(
'project' => $project,
'sprint' => $sprint,
));
$form->handleRequest($request);
if($form->isValid())
{
$story->setUser($user);
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist($story);
$em->flush();
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('cpj_stories_homepage'));
}
return $this->render('CpjProjectsBundle:Story:new.html.twig', array(
'form' => $form->createView(),
));
}

You may try just setting the project and the sprint on the new story entity before passing it to form create. Something like this:
public function newAction(Request $request)
{
$user = $this->getUser();
$story = new Story();
$id_project = $request->query->get('project');
$id_sprint = $request->query->get('sprint');
$project = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('CpjProjectsBundle:Project')->findOneBy(array(
'id' => $id_project,
'user' => $user,
));
$sprint = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('CpjProjectsBundle:Sprint')->findOneBy(array(
'id' => $id_sprint,
'user' => $user,
));
$story->setProject($project);
$story->setSprint($sprint);
$form = $this->createForm(new StoryType($user), $story);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if($form->isValid())
{
$story->setUser($user);
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist($story);
$em->flush();
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('cpj_stories_homepage'));
}
return $this->render('CpjProjectsBundle:Story:new.html.twig', array(
'form' => $form->createView(),
));
}
Then in your form would look like:
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('type', 'choice', array(
'choices' => array(
'' => '--',
'new' => 'New',
'bugfix' => 'Bugfix'
)))
->add('name', 'text')
->add('project', 'entity', array(
'class' => 'CpjProjectsBundle:Project',
'property' => 'name',
'empty_value' => '--',
'empty_data' => null,
'required' => false,
'query_builder' => function(EntityRepository $er) {
return $er->createQueryBuilder('u')
->where("u.user = :id_user")
->setParameter('id_user', $this->user);
},
))
->add('sprint', 'entity', array(
'class' => 'CpjProjectsBundle:Sprint',
'property' => 'name',
'empty_value' => '--',
'empty_data' => null,
'required' => false,
'query_builder' => function(EntityRepository $er) {
return $er->createQueryBuilder('u')
->where("u.user = :id_user")
->setParameter('id_user', $this->user);
}
))
->add('importance', 'text')
->add('storypoints', 'text')
->add('description', 'textarea')
->add('howtoprove', 'textarea')
->add('save', 'submit');
}
public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => 'CpjProjectsBundle:Story'
));
}
You can also take out all of the stuff above $builder->add()... in the form
