Form inheritance

I just went to start implementing Form inheritance for the first time.

I was under the impression that you could have sub-forms based on different tables, but I’m not able to do that in 4.0.1 – it only allows me to select and base a sub-form on a parent form with the same dataprovider table selected.

Is that the way it’s suppose to work or am I missing something?

Greg,

We are planning to allow the base form to have ‘no table’ in the future, subforms can have any table in that case.
Once a form in the hierarchy has a table, all subforms must be on that same table, otherwise inherited elements with dataproviders on the main forms table cannot be resolved in the subform.

This would be great! Will it also be possible to extend a table view form from a record view based form?
I thought I’d already seen this in the beta releases…
This could be a great help building solid frameworks!
