two type for one filed

Hi EveryBody,
I have to type for one filed of entity and I want to show each of them in special condition
but I don’t want to define form type of entity 2 time
Is there any solution?
Thanks
——————-
for example class1 have ‘name; field

in class1Type I add below code
$builder->add(‘name’, ‘type1_name’)
->add(‘name’, ‘type2_name’) ;

and in twig when a checkbox is checked I will show name as type1_name otherwise show name as type2_name

Hello.

You can handle this logic using form events and JS. First you have to render these two fields at frontend and show/hide them depends on the checkbox state, and then you have to add appropriate form field to your form based on submitted checkbox state using form events (probably, PRE_SUBMIT).

Alternative solution – you might have both fields with different names (e.g. nameType1 and nameType2), make sure they aren’t mapped to entity (option mapped=false), handle their visibility in JS and after form is submitted set one of the values to entity manually or using form events.
