You are correct in assuming that I am including this SingleSelectField
as part of a TableForm. Therefore, I need to use the latter example.
Given the latter example, would I specify the params parameter in my kid
page template something like this?
${widget(value=formValues, action=submitAction, params=params)}
Can someone help out with the child_args parm? I looked through the
widget browser and through the source but was unable to come up with
anything.
