First thing you might want to do is take the set function call out of
the if(empty()) conditional you have. The reason is because you want
this variable set every time, regardless of the state of $this->data,
to keep the select options properly populated. The way you have it
now, you will lose your select options in the event that you have to
resubmit the form due to errors, etc, because then the $this->data
array is set.
Second, you can force the input field to become a select by using the
select() function. Try switching your input function with that.
$form->select('finished_product_id', $finished_products, null,
array());
or
$form->input('finished_product_id', array('options' =>
$finished_products));
Hope that helps.
