SubjectInsideFunctionAdmin.php

<?php

use Sonata\AdminBundle\Admin\Admin;
use Sonata\AdminBundle\Form\FormMapper;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormEvent;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormEvents;

class SubjectOutsideFunctionAdmin extends Admin
{
    protected function configureFormFields(FormMapper $formMapper)
    {
        $admin = $this;

        $formMapper->getFormBuilder()->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA,
            function (FormEvent $event) use ($formMapper, $admin) {

            $form = $event->getForm();
            $subject = $admin->getSubject($event->getData());

            if ($form->has('durationType')) {
                $form->remove('durationType');
            }

            $disabled = $subject->getAbsenceType() === null ? true : false;

            $durationType =  $formMapper->getFormBuilder()->getFormFactory()->createNamed('durationType', 'sonata_type_translatable_choice', null, array(
                        'choices' => DurationType::getTypeList(),
                        'catalogue' => 'TimekeepingBundle',
                        'expanded' => true,

                        'disabled' => $disabled,
                        'auto_initialize' => false // Automatic initialization is only supported on root forms.
