[TYPO3-dev] Populating form select options in fluid

[Heinz Müller]

Thanks for your help.

@Richard: The debug output is not the problem. The variable $options is set
and filled with the correct values.

@Sebastian: I have tried using an associative array, same result.

Well, I guess it is simply not possible to use associative arrays in the
SelectViewHelper unless it's a domain object with getters for value and
label to use something like this in the view:
<f:form.select property="myProperty" options="{options}"
optionValueField="foo" optionLabelField="bar" />

Any comments on whether my previously mentioned alternative approach using
objects could actually be made to work?
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/ExtbaseGuide/Fluid/BestPractice/OptionsForSelect.html

I tried it and it did not work either.

Regards,
Heinz
