[FORMS]
Hi all,
I'm working on bidirectional AggregateField - meaning, it will allow to
have one value in a backend model, splitted to the several on the form,
or vice versa. This field is needed in many common scenarios such as
telephone entry fields represented as [ ] - [ ] - [ ] x [ ] on
the form, and should obviously go into one database field as
999-999-9999x9999; or date entry fileds, where day / month / year are
select boxes, and in the back end it is one value.
I do not have examples for the other direction, but because it was
already supported by AggregateField, I'll leave this functionality in.
Objections?
Vadim

Done. As a side effect, now it supports all datatypes, and requires
datatype definition. See also new sample.
