yeah, you need to drill down to the appropriate field and change the
input to a name-one, but since it's a has many association, it's a bit
more complex. name-one really is meant for a belongs_to
relationship. I think you could do it with a hybrid of input-many but
not sure if you'll need any other code on the backend to handle it or
if I'm sending you in completely the wrong direction :D
with forms, you extend in application.dryml
<extend tag="form" for="Project">
<old-form merge>
<field-list:>
<engineers-view:>
<input-many>
<name-one />
</input-many>
...
good luck and let me know if that works out.
