questions about widget forms and conditionals

[Jonathon -- Improov <jo...@improov.com>]

Is it advisable to add "<condition>" blocks in widget forms? It gets really tiring when using 
"use-when".

Or should I simply dump widget forms and move to Freemarker?

Or is it too messy to riddle a form with conditionals, and is it better to simply create 2 
separate forms, one for "create" and one for "update"?

Hi Jonathon,

I have used conditional forms in order to reuse them for create/update
and I am happy with the results in terms of maintenance. I think the
messy part is always with the <use-when> parts. If your update/create
forms are very similar I would advice to use one conditional form. If
they are very different use two forms.

Freemarker templates are more difficult to maintain in the long run.
