I think I must be missing something on how name-one works.
Below is what I have from my application.dryml for my product form:
<extend tag="form" for="Product">
<old-form merge>
<field-list: fields="category, customer, department, vendor, name,
serial_number, date_ordered, date_received, date_invoiced,
vendor_invoice, scc_invoice, quantity, dollar_amount,
warranty_years, warranty_days, item, comments">
<name-label:>Part Description</name-label:>
<category-tag:><name-one/></category-tag:>
<customer-tag:><name-one/></customer-tag:>
<vendor-tag:><name-one/></vendor-tag:>
</field-list:>
</old-form>
</extend>
When I run it, I don't get anything different. I must have missed something
on how to use name-one.
