organicwebs Offline Premium Member Chris Posts: 133 Thank you received: 21 Karma: 4	Hey guys, I'm creating a form that I would like certain fields to show on new - and certain fields to show on edit. I guess the models/form/form.xml files are used for both new and edit. Same goes for views/form/tmp/form.php. Any pointers? Cheers

Then, in your grid/collection, point the edit task to the 'edit' layout you've defined and the 'new' task to the 'new' form. Hope it helps, Gez
