Hi,
How can we implement Forms inheritance or Object Oriented Concepts in Forms. Please help me with some practical scenarios.
Thanks & Regards,

Use the Object Library in which you can base objects on other objects. For example, (and the only one that I needed) 'my_item' (a text item) has field type 'text' referencing a visual attribute, 'my_display' is based on 'my_item' but navigation is false so that it behaves like a disabled item but is not 'grey', 'my_date' is 'my_item' with a type of date, 'my_number' is 'my_item' with a type of number. Then if we want to change 'bevel', I only have to change 'my_item' and all the rest change through inheritance.
