Did you consider extending the form tag for Assignments in application.dryml
instead of changing the form in all the pages it appears in? E.g:
<extend tag="form" for="Assignment">
<old-form merge>
<field-list: fields="assignment_type, ...">
<thing-view:>
<name-one complete-target="&@assignment" completer="thing_name"/>
</thing-view:>
</field-list:>
</old-form>
</extend>
It seems to me that would be the DRYMLiest way to do it. ;)
