Tim,Sorry for the late reply, but I'm just now getting around to this.
This definitely gives me the widget I want and the Forms class is happy, but
I can't seem to find anything about what type of DB field or Model field
this should be.
The errors I get say that the value posted is of type text[], but I'm not
sure how to cast that or whatever to get the database to accept and then of
course be able to edit it or display it.
Thanks!
