Re: Formbuilder and multiple links?

Hi Justin, I wrestled with this for about 2 hours, not understanding why one link worked, but not the other. I think the documentation is unclear on this point. Where in the process could I interrupt form builder to add these keys? I don't want to put the attribute in the dataobject itself. The reason is I am building a wrapper for formbuilder, so everything needs to work by reference and be dynamic. Plus, I'm not too keen on putting properties inside the dataobject that don't directly have to do with it... I like the idea of the Ini file, but I don't see any examples of this. I'll shove 'em in DO if this is the only option though. Thanks for you help, please let me know if there is a "plan B" here.
