yeah .. i wasn't sure if this version was identicle or not, it sounds like you added some stuff, but the key thing i was refering to was what when showing a "field" we should display both the direct attributes as well as any attributes it inherits from it's "fieldtype"
Currently, there is "usage" table on the field page, that contains a link from the field to the fieldtype (the usage table on the fieldtype page links back to all implementing fields) -- does that satisfy the need, or is it important to display the fieldtype data embedded within the field screen? -Greg
