Symfony 4 несколько сущностей в единой форме

Я часами пытался заставить мою форму с несколькими объектами работать, но это действительно ломает мне голову, и ни один из примеров, которые я нашел, не работает.

Я проверил документацию по типу формы сбора и коллекции форм, а также Тип формы сущности.

У меня есть сущность User, сущность UserRole и сущность Role. UserRole содержит идентификатор пользователя и идентификатор роли. Просто связующая таблица.

В форме показаны поля для создания пользователя, и я хочу также иметь возможность выбрать новую роль для нового пользователя. Итак, я попытался использовать EntityType, раскрывающийся список выбора показывает все роли красиво (только если я добавлю параметр mapped => false), но не обрабатывается после отправки формы. Это данные не в $ form-> getData (), пользователь создается, а запись user_role никогда не создавалась. Если я попробую без mapped => false, он меня бросит:

Could not determine access type for property "user_roles" in class "App\Entity\User": The property "user_roles" in class "App\Entity\User" can be defined with the methods "addUserRole()", "removeUserRole()" but the new value must be an array or an instance of \Traversable, "App\Entity\Role" given..

Код:

$form = $this->createFormBuilder(new User)
    ... //other add entries
    ->add('user_roles', EntityType::class, array(
        'label' => 'Group (role)',
        'class' => Role::class,
        'choice_label' => 'name',
        // 'mapped' => false, // Form works when false, but doesn't save/create UserRole entry
    ))
->getForm();

$form->handleRequest($request);

Используя CollectionType, он вообще не показывает раскрывающийся список выбора. Код:

$form = $this->createFormBuilder($user)
    .... //other add entries
    ->add('user_roles', CollectionType::class, array(
        'entry_type' => ChoiceType::class,
        'entry_options' => array(
            'choices' => $roleChoices,
        ),
    ))
->getForm();

$form->handleRequest($request);

Мне что-то не хватает в коде контроллера или я неправильно понимаю использование типов форм? Я действительно понятия не имею, что делаю не так.
