--- Comment #5 from Alex Thurgood <iplaw67 at tuta.io> ---
I see the usefulness in this.

An example might be for displaying and entering data for a family of objects
havin some common element data, but also individually editable data.

Take a patent or trademark family:
 - usually there is an initial filing in an intial territory
 - followed by filings in other territories, with optionally a link back to the
first filing date
- common data is shared between the family (e.g. applicant, inventors,
adresses, etc) which would be displayed in a separate section (generally above
the other entries)
- one or more members of the family may be active, or abandoned, as suggested
with the green light/yellow light icon

- different procedural deadlines might apply for each different member of the
family

Currently, this can be done using a grid view, but it is easy to lose focus
when editing tuples in a grid view, whereas separate form blocks with controls
as suggested by the OP could potentially facilitate data entry.
