DynamicForm Nesting

[mgbowman]

The solution: DynamicForm.showComplexFieldsRecursively

Is it possible to nest DynamicForm multiple times?

For example: Application -> Applicant -> Address

application.ds.xml

<DataSource ID="application">
  <fields>
    <field name="memo" type="text" />
    <field name="applicant" type="applicant" />
  </fields>
</DataSource>

applicant.ds.xml

<DataSource ID="applicant">
  <fields>
    <field name="name" type="text" />
    <field name="address" type="address" />
  </fields>
</DataSource>

address.ds.xml

<DataSource ID="address">
  <fields>
    <field name="line1" type="text" />
    <field name="line2" type="text" />
    <field name="city" type="text" />
    <field name="state" type="enum">
        <valueMap>...</valueMap>
    </field>
    <field name="zip" type="text" />
  </fields>
</DataSource>

I'm creating my DynamicForm from the application DS instance...

isc.DynamicForm.create({dataSource:application});

This includes everything in 'application' and 'applicant' accept the address. It doesn't seem like the NestedEditor created for 'applicant' is creating another NestedEditor for 'address'. NestedEditor uses a DynamicForm for it's internal editor, so I think it should work the same as at the root-level.

Is this expected behavior or a "feature"?

Maybe I don't understand the SmartClient DataSource architecture correctly. I'm separating my logical objects into separate datasources because they are resued multiple times in the root application datasource (for example, there's actually 2 applicant instances in my real model).

Thanks,

PS: I know about the "flattened data model" example, but this requires me to repeat the same model properties multiple times with different names and xpaths. Trying to follow the DRY principle :-/
