CakePHP, Populating select boxes with values rather than ID’s

Been struggling with something lately – and that is to get the select boxes on the edit / add views of a cakePHP app to show the correct thing.

For instance I have a Countries table that has an association to the UserAddress model, to get this association and pull out the country name rather than the coutnry_id I have to do the following:

$countries = $this->UserAddress->Country->find('list', array('fields' => array('Country.country')));

Sometimes CakePHP automagic takes away a bit of common sense from us :)
