Woody: CombineField?

[Vadim Gritsenko <va...@verizon.net>]

Hi all,

Quick one: what is the reverse in Woody to the AggregateField? I.e., is 
there a thing allowing to show several widgets but to combine them into 
the one field in form?

not yet,

we discussed this before, but didn't really conclude into doing it yet

here is the thread(s) I remember

my feeling at the time was that on the model-level (woody definition) it 
would just be the same AggregateFieldWidget, only the template would 
combine them into one aggregated output

the reasoning behind it being that in both cases the model needs to have 
the most detailed knowledge regardless of the fact that it is the 
web-user or the binding-backend that prefers the info to be aggregated...

so the reverse would be the same (but in a reversed manner) ;-)
