Could this help? (cut and paste from http://www.opensourcestrategies.com/ofbiz/ofbiz_form_widget_cookbook.txt)
* How to use the same field or value more than once on the form Let's say you need to display productId twice on your form, once as productId and once as the product description. The form widget will only display each field name="" once. You can explicitly set the 'entry-name' attribute (by default the 'entry-name' attribute is equals to the 'name' attribute) to make it display the same field twice. <field name="productId"><display/></field> <field name="productDescription" entry-name="productId"> <display-entity entity-name="Product"/> <!-- defaults to display description --> </field> 2010/8/30 Mansour Al Akeel <mansour.alak...@gmail.com> > Hello all: > This question is still unanswered.
