I have read every thread regarding this error and I can't figure out where this is coming from.
I have a form with a lot of checkbox fields that are being populated from arrays. However in my Entity I am converting all the fields to a comma separated string (yes I know this is ugly) and the fields in question all work fine, however I'm getting this error and I simply can't figure out where the issue is coming from. When I was debugging these fields it gave me the arrays that were in question and I was able to fix them
I also have another 4 set of EntityType choice lists that populate from 4 other database tables. All data pulls and works properly for all the Entities but it's when I'm trying to persist the database that I get this error, but I can't find any reference to what Entity or array/field this is referring to. All I'm seeing below are empty arrays.
If seeing my Entity and FormType helps I can post those.
