SubForms, such as those for linkNewValue, normally have the same formatting as a normal form, with all of their own labels. For an example, see the following link and choose "--New Value--" for Genre. http://pear.reversefold.com/EditRecord.html SubForms are not groups; they're SubForms. They only have groups within them if that's the way you set up that DO's form. If you want to limit the fields in a FormBuilder form you do it the same way whether or not it's a form or a SubForm, you set the options in the DO class (such as fieldsToRender). If want it different when it's a SubForm use the prepareLinkedDataObject callback on the main form's DO. -- Justin Patrin
