Question regarding many describing fields in a SelectItem (or PickList in general)

[Blama]

Hi Isomorphic,

I'm trying to replace a old Access frontend with Smart GWT and I think I found one point where Access could do a little more (or I didn't find the option in Smart GWT, yet).
When you do what I described in http://forums.smartclient.com/showthread.php?t=20773 in Access, you configure the "SelectItem" there to display many columns when showing the List, for example "name" and "description". These options are aligned. When you select an item, the first column of the selected value is displayed.
In Smart GWT I didn't find a possibility to do this (besides a workaround involving a additional field with a customSelectExpression).

Could you advise if this is possible in Smart GWT or if you plan to include a method like setDisplayFields(java.lang.String... displayFields).

Thanks,
Blama

API already there (setPickListFields) with samples in the Showcase of a few variations of formatting (under ComboBox).
