Hi Nyall,
Interesting campaign and definitely some needed feature that will help
further improve forms in QGIS.
However, I wonder why you chose the "value relation widget" and not the
"relation reference widget". Both widget types have a larger overlap in
functionality and I did hope that we could get rid of one of the two
widgets in the future. Because from a user perspective it is confusing
that different widget types exist that do similar things.
I had the impression that the team around Denis/Matthias is pushing the
"relation reference widget" and had the plan to implement in the
relation reference widget everything the "value relation widget" does.
Matthias - please correct me if I am wrong.
Nyall/Matthias/Denis: What are your thoughts on the redundant
functionality in both widgets? Could we merge the two into one widget?
Greetings,
Andreas
