Yep, this is a good one. When we originally wrote all the widgets, we simply forgot this one. I would welcome a patch. I think you could do much better though and easily come up with a widget that can handle several value types at once, i.e. by using the sub-form framework. I also think that once you have such a list widget, you can also easily do one for Dict with simple key and value types. > 2- Then I'm trying to create a form for a single Object field.

This was my problem too. :-) Getting this generically right for a div-based layout is pretty difficult, especially for my CSS skills. BTW, I am open to include an object widget implementation in z3c.form, but I want to review the code, since I want the object factory selection to be very clean. I could advice anyone interested in doing this work. > The real final thing I'm trying to do is just a form for a > List(value_type=Object(schema=IStuff), > with IStuff being just made of 3 TextLine fields. > Doing this is quite easy with the formlib, or maybe I got used to it, but > I'd really like to be able to do all the same things with z3c.form I think you know enough about z3c.form to implement the widgets. Would you want to do that?
