Hello Diez, I, too am in need of a way to load DB values into a SingleSelectField within a GrowingTableFieldSet. I used Alex's method of passing a function working easily on the initial load, but If I am loading a series of existing entries (to edit an existing line item within an order for instance, then I need to load data into the template using some sort of child_arg passing. I was wondering if you had come up with any method?
