Not sure if this is the right place, but I was just stuck on this issue for a long time before figuring it out.

Thanks for your PR. Your addition is kind of redundant, because the mentioned types are already named in the documentation. Maybe it makes sense if you set a link to the mapping part instead.

Took me a day (although new to symfony and doctrine) to figure out that you have to change that obscure config variable for the package to work out of the box. Hopefully it can save someone the hassle. Found fix on SO, so other people have had the same issue: https://stackoverflow.com/a/74084695/1048291

I think the correct way forward is to make attribute the new default (and advertise it in docs, newcomers should use just that), we want to phase out annotations anyway :)

I agree. I'm not sure if this PR needs to be worked on now, but because a default attribute won't happen in 4.4, a link still can help people in the meantime.

I've created symfony/recipes-contrib#1472 so for new installs it would rely on the default mapping type detected in https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/27e6eb493ab6324164eb53e71fef4bda7fe798dc/src/Symfony/Bridge/Doctrine/DependencyInjection/AbstractDoctrineExtension.php#L298

I think we can close this one as the initial problem I think it was with the Symfony recipe and it was changed in symfony/recipes-contrib#1472

Docs should be change to promote the use of attributes instead of annotations, so I've created #761

thanks @bruteforks for the PR, feel free to reopen if you want to add the link or open a new one.
