Why is this field deprecated and not published? It really

Because it is redundant. The fieldkind property is what you need.
Set fieldKind=fkLookup
As said, it causes annoying problems with dual maintenance of forms
for no particular reason (since the property is still there, public).
Is it so hard to make it published (stored false if need be?).
(that came out a bit more whiny then I meant it :-)
No, it is not.
But dual maintenance was never a target.
Deliberately frustrating it can't be the object either.
That was not the intent.
Easy porting, yes.
It makes it unnecessary hard for e.g. example code for shared component

Sure, go ahead.
Michael.
