Great idea. It seems like anything beyond a toy system needs an extended attributes table for tables and fields. It would be fantastic to have a hook to add that too. The, of course, we would need tools to search on attributes...but 4D's object fields already have tools of that sort. Seems like a very natural and awesome feature request - give us a place to store and manage custom attributes. But don't make us add another table (etc.) to do it. Nice one. Please put in a feature request and maybe we can get a crew to sign it. And, while we're at it, it would be nice for forms to have such an extension as well. It really does seem like 4D has all of the internal tools to do this pretty easily. Easy for me to say, but the pieces sure seem to be right there now. Could make for some very cool Summit demos and, better, some super happy customers. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
