Hi. Trying to change various properties of a few hundred formulator fields programmatically. For example assigning to field.values['required'] = False. This seemed to work, but of course was not persisted, and disappeared gradualy. Quite magical to see :) Tried to take a copy of values and "overwrite" values with the changed ones, to trigger the presistence machinery, but that is not allowed. The same goes for setting field._p_changed = True, and accessing field._edit(). I can use field.manage_edit() but then I have to masage all the data from field.values into "request format" to have it accepted, otherwise I get "required" errors, or values gets deleted. What to do? I guess some developer has worked hard to prevent me from doing just this at some point, but why? Do I need to write a product to do it? Is anyone at all using this crazy development model where "semi trusted users" do stuff in the ZMI??? But I digress.. If anyone knows how to solve this I would be less frustrated for a while ;-) Regrads Gaute Amundsen
