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.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
