What I wish existed (and already might, I dunno), is the following:
(we can all wish, right?)
subFormClass =
form_for_class_with_just_some_fields(ThisVeryLargeClass,
'field_a','field_b','field_c' {'required': True})
and then
subFormInstance = subFormClass()
subFormInstance.save_yourself_by_merging_to_this_pre_existing_instance(thisInstance)
# saves its attributes to that instance.-- this is currently possible
through save_instance, as I do it now -- see http://betterlogic.com/roger/?p=43
and then (still wishing :)
initializedForm = subFormClass(initial=thisInstance)
and also this
boundForm = subFormClass(bind_data=thisInstance)
Then it would automate things very well :) Any ideas?
