@tony5Dim implement __toString() method in your entity that return the name for example.

Edit : sorry I didn’t see that you’ve ever made that ^^

FIX BUG

$result = array_merge(
        $result,
        [new ChoiceView(
                $choice,
                (string)$choice->getId(),
                str_repeat($options['prefix'], $level) . ' ' . $choice->getName(),
                []
            )]
        );
if (!$choice->$children_method_name()->isEmpty())
    $result = array_merge(
        $result,
        $this->buildTreeChoices($choice->$children_method_name(), $options, $level + 1)
    );

Hello!
Thank you for share this code!

It works fine when "multiple" and "expanded" are false, but:

'multiple' => true,
'expanded' => true,

Choices generated by this class are overridden by original EntityType class, losing hierarchy and order.
How can we do?
Thank you!
