Hi Matthew, I sense I would welcome this as my efforts on CRUD seem to be focusing me towards these issues from a generic standpoint. Perhaps like some others, my table classes provide all meta info to enable automated form building. But wouldn't this post-filter addition also begin to make Zend_Form completely overlap ZFI? I did ask about ZFI's role some time ago back when optional fields in Zend_Form were not yet supported and never quite understood why ZFI was not leveraged wholesale by Zend_Form (perhaps with BC adaption to ZFI)? With a postfilter addition being considered now, it looks to me like convergence, and so I can't help wondering again if ZFI should be serving this role for Zend_Form? Sorry if I don't understand it well enough but it just seems to me like fairly significant duplication. Which is better? Added BC support for Zend_Form's needs within ZFI, or, what looks to me like a trend towards duplication with ZFI (perhaps for sounds reasons)? Regards, Mark
