Hi Carl,
The 'date' parameter is created only if 'date.*' parameters are passed to
process. But dbic deletes them, so FormFu never gets anything about the date
field.
How is the work on nested-params going? How would it work? Some months ago I
wrote something about nested-params to the HTML::Widget list but never got a
response. See
http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/html-widget/2007-April/000602.html. Will
it work something like that?
Maybe I can help. I would like to have this in FormFu very much.
