Answer 1

You can use the one of the following:

1. Set a default value in the object

   $cl->setUser($this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager()->getReference('Acme:User',2));
   

2. Use a preferred choices option in the form builder:

   'preferred_choices' => array('2')
   

3. Or set 'property_path' => false and use a 'data' => YourDefaultEnity
