CollectionType with multiple entity type + Ajax - ajax

Question

I have a problem creating a form by including a formType that are 2 related entities and that must be combined with a CollectionType.
I use the library jquery.collection for CollectionType ( http://symfony-collection.fuz.org/symfony3/ )
My entities

Explanation
My product must belong to an attribute group and must contain attributes. I have a relationship between my AttributeGroup entity and a Relationship with Attribute.
My Entity AttributeGroup has a relationship with Attribute (functional).
Form Types
In my form I have a CollectionType with another formType as entry_type I have created with two entity types (AttributeGroups / Attributes)
FormType for product
namespace BBW\ProductBundle\Form\Product;
use A2lix\TranslationFormBundle\Form\Type\TranslationsType;
use BBW\CoreBundle\FormTypes\SwitchType;
use BBW\MediaBundle\Transformers\MediaTransformer;
use BBW\ProductBundle\Form\Attribute\Type\AttributeType;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Entity;
use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\Type\EntityType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\CollectionType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\FileType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\HiddenType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\MoneyType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextareaType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;
class ProductEditType extends AbstractType
{
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$locale = $options['int_service'];
$builder
->add('attributes', CollectionType::class, array(
'entry_type' => AttributeType::class,
'entry_options' => array(
'label' => false
),
'allow_add' => true,
'allow_delete' => true,
'prototype' => true,
'required' => false,
'attr' => array(
'class' => 'attributes-selector'
),
))
;
}
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => 'BBW\ProductBundle\Entity\Product\Product',
'int_service' => ['fr'],
'translation_domain' => 'ProductBundle'
));
}
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
public function getBlockPrefix()
{
return 'bbw_productbundle_edit_product';
}
}
AttributeType
/**
* Form Type: Fields add in product edit form
*/
namespace BBW\ProductBundle\Form\Attribute\Type;
use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\Type\EntityType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;
class AttributeType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('attributeGroups', EntityType::class, array(
'label' => false,
'class' => 'BBW\ProductBundle\Entity\Attribute\AttributeGroup',
'choice_label' => 'translate.name',
'attr' => array(
'class' => 'choiceAttributeGroup'
),
))
->add('attributes', EntityType::class, array(
'label' => false,
'class' => 'BBW\ProductBundle\Entity\Attribute\Attribute',
'choice_label' => 'translate.name',
'attr' => array(
'class' => 'choiceAttributes'
)
))
;
}
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => 'BBW\ProductBundle\Entity\Product\Product',
'int_service' => ['fr'],
'translation_domain' => 'ProductBundle'
));
}
}
Explanation
The two entities (AttributeGroups / Attributes) are two linked drop-down lists. When I select a group, I must display the data of this group in the second drop-down list. This part works well. I can duplicate as much as I want (with the CollectionType).
First problem when i submit the form:
"Could not determine access type for property "attributeGroups" ".
Second problem when i set "mapped => false" in my two entities:
"Expected value of type "Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection|array" for association field "BBW\ProductBundle\Entity\Product\Product#$attributes", got "BBW\ProductBundle\Entity\Product\Product" instead."
Screeshoots dump/form
Conclusion
I think my problem is a mapping problem, having tested a lot of code and explanation on the symfony doc or other site, I could not solve my problem. If anyone could help me out and explain the good work of a collectionType with 2 entity and if that is possible. If you have examples of codes I am taker too.
Thank you in advance for your help.
