some months ago, Phillip von Weitershausen wrote such a widget for me. I'm
not using it anymore and I don't know, if it's still working. But maybe it
will help:




<configure.zcml>
	<!--
		A widget for rendering objects that are usually used
		in "lists of records" structures.
	-->
	<zope:view type="zope.publisher.interfaces.browser.IBrowserRequest"
		for="zope.schema.interfaces.IObject"
		provides="zope.app.form.interfaces.IInputWidget"
		factory=".widgets.ObjectInputWidget"
		permission="zope.Public" />
	<!--
		A template based widget for rendering edit forms out of sequences
		(eg. Lists) that are a bit more user friendly than the defaults.
	-->
	<zope:view type="zope.publisher.interfaces.browser.IBrowserRequest"
		for="zope.schema.interfaces.IList zope.schema.interfaces.IObject"
		provides="zope.app.form.interfaces.IInputWidget"
		factory=".widgets.TemplateSequenceWidget"
		permission="zope.Public" />
</configure.zcml>
