136- ``finishView() ``

141136``configureOptions() ``
142137 It defines the options configurable when using the form type, which are also
143138 the options that can be used in ``buildForm() `` and ``buildView() ``
144139 methods. Options are inherited from parent types and parent type
145140 extensions, but you can create any custom option you need.

142+ ``finishView() ``
143+ This method allows to modify the "view" of any rendered widget. This is useful
144+ if your form type consists of many fields, or contains a type that produces
145+ many HTML elements (e.g. ``ChoiceType ``). For any other use case, it's
146+ recommended to use ``buildView() `` instead.
147+
148+ ``getParent() ``
149+ If your custom type is based on another type (i.e. they share some
150+ functionality) add this method to return the fully-qualified class name
151+ of that original type. Do not use PHP inheritance for this.
152+ Symfony will call all the form type methods (``buildForm() ``,
153+ ``buildView() ``, etc.) of the parent type and it will call all its type
154+ extensions before calling the ones defined in your custom type.
155+
156+ By default, the ``AbstractType `` class returns the generic
157+ :class: `Symfony\\ Component\\ Form\\ Extension\\ Core\\ Type\\ FormType `
158+ type, which is the root parent for all form types in the Form component.
