symfony-forms

You can define the default value from the ‘data’ attribute. This is part of the Abstract “field” type (http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/reference/forms/types/field.html) $form = $this->createFormBuilder() ->add(‘status’, ‘choice’, array( ‘choices’ => array( 0 => ‘Published’, 1 => ‘Draft’ ), ‘data’ => 1 )) ->getForm(); In this example, ‘Draft’ would be set as the default selected value.
