Hello,

Currently this feature is not available or at last adding such functionality requiere to use fsome events and knowledge of the structure of the edit form.

We plan in the next major release to introduce a templating in  form editing.

In this case you can do custom forms.

Kind Regards

Thank you for your answer.

I finally solved my problem by modifying the HTML of the edit form in the beforeShowForm event handler and by applying some styles to the rows in the edit form one-by-one. Not a beautiful solution, but works.

It would be awesome if the grouping available in the grid heading could go into the edit form too. This way one setting would eliminate two needs.

Anyway I'm looking forward for the new version of this awesome program. 😉

I would like to group some fields together, give them a summarizing name and give the group some different background color and maybe even border so the user can navigate more easily.

Suppose I have 4 entries in the colModel:

 name
 address
 title
 income

I would like to show it in the edit form like:

 Personal:----------
 | name     [    ] |
 | address  [    ] |
 -------------------
 Business:----------
 | title    [    ] |
 | income   [    ] |
 -------------------

where the fields belonging to the Personal group/category would have - let's say - light green background and fields in the Business group would have light red background.

The difficulty is that there are lots of fields and I wouldn't want to give them background color on a one-by-one basis. And if there are groups then I could even use some collapse jQuery plugin to let the user to hide some of the groups.

name
address
title
income

Personal:----------
| name     [    ] |
| address  [    ] |
-------------------
Business:----------
| title    [    ] |
| income   [    ] |
-------------------
