Array to string conversion ArrayChoiceList

Question

I have read every thread regarding this error and I can't figure out where this is coming from.

I have a form with a lot of checkbox fields that are being populated from arrays. However in my Entity I am converting all the fields to a comma separated string (yes I know this is ugly) and the fields in question all work fine, however I'm getting this error and I simply can't figure out where the issue is coming from. When I was debugging these fields it gave me the arrays that were in question and I was able to fix them

I also have another 4 set of EntityType choice lists that populate from 4 other database tables. All data pulls and works properly for all the Entities but it's when I'm trying to persist the database that I get this error, but I can't find any reference to what Entity or array/field this is referring to. All I'm seeing below are empty arrays.

If seeing my Entity and FormType helps I can post those.

programs_keywords

and so on for tables categories, protective_factors, risk_factors

ProgramsType form class This has my entities added, but also as mentioned has a ton of other ChoiceType fields that are populated from arrays, but these all seem to work fine.

        ->add('keyword', EntityType::class, array( 'class' => 'AppBundle:Keywords', 'choice_label' => 'title', 'multiple' => true, 'expanded' => true ))
        ->add('riskFactor', EntityType::class, array( 'class' => 'AppBundle:RiskFactors', 'choice_label' => 'title', 'multiple' => true, 'expanded' => true ))
        ->add('protectiveFactor', EntityType::class, array( 'class' => 'AppBundle:ProtectiveFactors', 'choice_label' => 'title', 'multiple' => true, 'expanded' => true ))
        ->add('category', EntityType::class, array( 'class' => 'AppBundle:Categories', 'query_builder' => function (EntityRepository $er) {
            $qb = $er->createQueryBuilder('c');
            $qb->where($qb->expr()->eq('c.isEffstrat', $qb->expr()->literal('YES')));
            return $qb;
        },'choice_label' => 'title', 'multiple' => true, 'expanded' => true ))
