There is a closed [issue][1] related to this before Symfony 2.7 (when choice value still was the key from the `array`). This issue already happened in 2.7+ but now inside Symfony core.
Information
-----------
[This method][3] checks whether the given choices can be cast to strings without generating duplicates (symfony@3ab8189 in symfony#16705):
```php
private function castableToString(array $choices, array &$cache = array())
{
foreach ($choices as $choice) {
if (is_array($choice)) {
if (!$this->castableToString($choice, $cache)) {
return false;
}
continue;
} elseif (!is_scalar($choice)) {
return false;
} elseif (isset($cache[$choice])) { // <---- red breakpoint
return false;
}
$cache[$choice] = true; // <---- red breakpoint
}
return true;
}
```
So it should to keep [scalar values (integer, float, string or boolean)][2] as choice values always (unless have duplicates values).
The Problem
-----------
But in this situation it doesn't happen:
```php
$form = $this->createFormBuilder()
->add('foo', ChoiceType::class, [
'choices' => [
'Min' => 0.5,
'Mid' => 1.0,
'Max' => 1.5,
]
])
->getForm();
```
**Output:**
```html
<select id="form_foo" name="form[foo]">
<option value="0">Min</option>
<option value="1">Mid</option>
<option value="2">Max</option>
</select>
```
[**Why?**][5]
If the key of the array is a float number, it's interpreted as integer automatically:
```php
// ...
$cache[$choice] = true;
// when $choice = 0.5: $cache = [0 => true]
// when $choice = 1.0: $cache = [0 => true, 1 => true]
```
Then, when `$choice = 1.5` [this sentence][4] `isset($cache[1.5])` returns `true` because really checks `isset($cache[1])` and this key already exists, so `castableToString()` returns `false` (detected as duplicate) and the choices values are generated incrementing integers as values.
The PR's Effect
-------------
**Before:**
```html
<select id="form_foo" name="form[foo]">
<option value="0">Min</option>
<option value="1">Mid</option>
<option value="2">Max</option>
</select>
```
**After:**
```html
<select id="form_foo" name="form[foo]">
<option value="0.5">Min</option>
<option value="1">Mid</option>
<option value="1.5">Max</option>
</select>
```
