Llewellyn, do you mean something like thid:

public function editAction($id) { $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();

    $entity = $em->getRepository('imBundle:Inspecciones')->find($id);

    $entity_valores = $em->getRepository('imBundle:ValoresInspecciones')->findByInspecciones($id);

    if (!$entity) {
        throw $this->createNotFoundException('Unable to find Inspecciones entity.');
    }

    $entity->setValoresInspecciones($entity_valores);



    $editForm = $this->createEditForm($entity);
    $deleteForm = $this->createDeleteForm($id);

    return $this->render('imBundle:Inspecciones:edit.html.twig', array(
        'entity'      => $entity,
        'edit_form'   => $editForm->createView(),
        'delete_form' => $deleteForm->createView(),
    ));
}

Answer 2

Oh I faced the same problem, but I found the solution, hope this will help you :-)

You're forgetting to add an Address object to the member entity.

In your action you'll need to do the following:

$member = new Member();
$member->addAddress(new Address());

$form = $this->createForm(new MemberType(), $member);

And then in your template:

 {% for address in form.address %}
  {{ form_widget(address.firstLine) }}
 {% endfor %}

Btw your 'firstline' widget doesn't relate to an entity property.

Btw if you called addAddress two times, you would of course get two 'firstline' widgets in your form.

Hope this works. best of luck.
