One issue I am hitting when playing with this is whats happening
in a Select or similar element.

I've got a bookings form:-

     elements:
       - legend: Booking
         type: Fieldset
         elements:
           - name: id
             type: Hidden

           - label: Booking Type
             model_config:
               resultset: BookingType
             name: booking_type
             type: Select

           - label: Start
             name: start
             type: Text

           - label: End
             name: end
             type: Text

This works fine as an individual form.
If I wrap it in a repeatable from a parent object, it works fine  
except that the booking_type Select has no options filled in.   
Interestingly the options_from_model method is called (just once no  
matter how many items are involved), and the appropriate values  
returned back. If I manually fill in the options that works...

I've not as yet managed to chase down where in the stack the options  
are getting detached from the items.

On a similar vein, is it possible at present to have options set from  
something like a callback or method on the object used to populate the  
defaults?
