Jacopo, I completely agree with the direction or the refactoring and have no doubt that the definitions in the project will benefit from leveraging the technique that refactoring would support. But, when all the dust settles on that refactoring, is it the goal to deprecate those 12 attributes fro

I don't know the answer to that. I'm not arguing against your idea. On the contrary, I think it's a great idea. Here's my vote: +1 I guess I was just saying in the short term (after the patch is committed) you won't have to specify as many things as before. Chris Howe wrote: Would OFBIZ-6

Would OFBIZ-671 eventually deprecate many of the attributes or simply make for an additional option when defining the form definition? I can certainly see OFBIZ-671 being a "best practice" of sorts, but the current attributes would likely still be supported and the need for organization would sti

We're on the same page. If you specify a form style element, that style could style all of the elements contained in the form. Therefore most of those elements you listed aren't needed. Chris Howe wrote: Just to make sure we're on the same page... These are the attributes that I would like c
