Hi BJ, For the second problem, I think it's quite a good idea to define a view containing all the information needed,
But for the first problem, what we are trying to do is try to list categories based on some entity-constrain twice in the creating product screen, but that screen was defined using entity-based xml form, so is it possible to add screenlet directly in the xml form? can you advice where can I found further material on this topic?
