grouping within join tables not working

Hi again,

I have a join table which contains extra fields beyond the two primary fields used for joining. (It’s a course enrollment table with the two source tables being the students table and the courses table)

I’ve defined grouping for the widgets in the fields.ini for the join table. This grouping works when _viewing or modifying_ a record in the join table, but not when I am _adding_ a new record to the join table (via Add Existing Related Record). In the latter case, it the widget:group property from fields.ini is ignored.

Thoughts?

As a follow-up to this, when adding a new record to join tables, validation:required=true is also not processed, but it is processed when viewing/modifying an existing record in the join table.

Contrary to those cases, the widget:label in fields.ini *is* processed when adding a new record to a join table.

Cheers,
Shiraz
