ok where does this come from?

pageConfiguration = ‘CreateLineItem’ => displayPropertyKeys = 
(“[chooseInventory]”,”inventory”,”[editValues]”,”cost”,”msrp”)

I am referring to the square brackets! I have never seen them used in a 
displayPropertyKeys array. 

Maybe I am thinking of this wrong. What I thought I wanted was that when I ask 
for a new line item, the attributes would be empty. If I chose a selection from 
inventory, this objects values would get copied into the line item. Of course I 
don’ t have to select from the inventory, I could just start filling in the 
fields.
