Yii2 How to set value from base to dropDownList?

Question

Yii

in the form _form.php there is a field dropDownList :

<?= $form->field($model, 'status')->dropDownList([ 'Ок' => 'Ок', 'Не ок' => 'Не ок' ]) ?>

when the form is loaded, the field is set to an empty value, even if there is another value in the database.
How to make it so that by default the set value from the database is automatically loaded into the field?

Answer 1

dropDownList(ArrayHelper::map({Model}::find()->all(), 'field for attribute val', 'field for content of option tag') )
