Symfony Form with subform

Question

I have a user form and a contact form in my user form i tried to add my contact form to the user form

When I tried to add

$builder->add(
            'contact',
            new ContactType()
        );

It failed with

You cannot add children to a simple form.
Maybe you should set the option "compound" to true?

tried to set the compound but didnt work

/**
 * {@inheritdoc}
 */
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
    $defaults = array(
        'compound' => true,
        'inherit_data' => true,
    );

    $resolver->setDefaults($defaults);
}

The contact belongs to an user? Has it a relation with user? if the answer is no, you have to add $builder->add( 'contact', new ContactType(), array('mapped' => false) ); — Fernando Caraballo, Jun 26 '15 at 10:27
it had an relation but did accidently overwrite the getParent — Alexander Schranz, Jun 26 '15 at 11:10

The compound option is by default set to true.

How did you extend your form type class? AbstractFormType, or something else?
Did you override getParent() method?

This could explain compound being set to false.

Thank you very much! Thought I did delete the parent but did forget to delete my custom getParent in my own abstract type. – Alexander Schranz Jun 26 '15 at 10:59
Great :) Glad I could help :) – Jovan Perovic Jun 26 '15 at 11:20

+1 for mentioning a question about extending. It should be `AbstractType` while me accidentally extended wrong class and I got the error from the original question. – undefinedman Jun 28 '16 at 20:21
