How to use query_builder options?

How to manipulate the data in the form of easyadmin?
I would like to form in the type of entity (user choice) do query_builder options to select the entity only selected users:

'Query_builder' => function (EntityRepository $er)  {
    return $er-> createQueryBuilder('u') 
        ->where('u.type = ":type"') 
        ->setParameter(' type ', $type);
}

How to do it in easyadmin?
The file YML I can not do?

form:
    fields: 
        - {property: 'zastepca', type: entity,type_options: {expanded: false, multiple: false, class: 'UserBundle:User', ''Query_builder': ???  }}

You can use a static call:

query_builder: ['\Your\entity\repository\class','staticMethod']

It will work but you will not be avare of current entity .

PS: dont forget to declare as public static function your staticMethod

@zboina this is one of the situations where this bundle has to make a compromise. Since our config is based on YAML, there are some dynamic features we cannot configure. In those cases, we use PHP to complement the YAML config.

Specifically, you need to create a simple controller to override the default one (this takes less than a minute) and then add the needed methods to redefine some behavior. In this section of the docs everything is explained in more detail: https://github.com/javiereguiluz/EasyAdminBundle/blob/master/Resources/doc/book/4-edit-new-configuration.md#customizing-the-behavior-of-edit-and-new-views

PS: the solution from @pomporov may also work ... but when you need a truly dynamic behavior, you'll need to use some PHP code.

@javiereguiluz the link in your comment from May 15, 2016 is a 404 now, and in the most recent version of the docs at https://symfony.com/doc/master/bundles/EasyAdminBundle/index.html I can't find any information anymore on how to do this. Is there recent documentation on how to do this?
