Well, there is no framework way, but you can solve it via inheritance.
class ObjectForm(object):
fields =...
def updateWidgets(self):
...
class ObjectAddForm(ObjectForm, form.AddForm):
pass
class ObjectEditForm(ObjectForm, form.EditForm):
pass
I could also imagine that you could write a base class AddAndEditForm that has
a mode with values ADD and EDIT that switches between the variances.
The difference between an add and edit form are only the button and their
handlers and whether ignoreContext is set to true or false.
