Question

Scenario: I have a form with 2 selects. When user selects something from the first select, the second select gets populated with new values. This part works fine.

I think u have to use Events to manage this, which is more correct way

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
    $builder->add('category', 'choice', array(
        'choices' => array(
            'foo' => 'foo',
            'bar' => 'bar'
        )
    ));

    $ff = $builder->getFormFactory();

    // function to add 'template' choice field dynamically 
    $func = function (FormEvent $e) use ($ff) {
        $data = $e->getData();
        $form = $e->getForm();
        if ($form->has('template')) {
            $form->remove('template');
        }

        $cat = isset($data['category'])?$data['category']:null;

        // here u can populate ur choices in a manner u do it in loadChoices
        $choices = array('1' => '1', '2' => '2');
        if ($cat == 'bar') {
            $choices = array('3' => '3', '4' => '4');
        }

        $form->add($ff->createNamed('template', 'choice', null, compact('choices')));
    };

    // Register the function above as EventListener on PreSet and PreBind
    $builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA, $func);
    $builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_BIND, $func);
}
