I'm using ZPatterns 0.4.1snap1.

The LinkToParentProviders datamanager doesn't work properly because it assumes that the Specialist it lives in has a _PropertySheetsFor(client) method.

However, Specialists (and DataManagers) don't provide this method.

This stops /specialist/object/propertysheets/manage from working. It also stops _v_currentSheets from returning all the sheets a Dataskin might have.

Phillip, is this fixed in your internal version?

If not, I'll add the method over the weekend.

Ouch. That's not the problem. This is fallout from making DataSkins more "personally responsible"; the bug is in the propertysheet providers that expect to acquire from a parent. They need to be rewritten to work the way dataskins do now, or else configured to find the parent providers, and provide those instead. :( I'll have to take a closer look at this later. By the way, I've been away from the list a while due to day-to-day business concerns and travel. I'm hoping to start the process of catching up soon, but I saw this and since it's a bug I'm going to tackle it first before trying to answer any other unanswered questions that might be floating around out there. Sorry.
