Extra attributes (Since version 2.1.4)
You can pass any number of extra attributes to the with tag that will be propagated to the inner fields and displays.
<f:with bean="person" wrapper="someWrapper">
<f:field property="name"/>
<f:field property="address.city"/>
</f:with>That way you don’t need to repeat the same attribute over and over. The code above is the same as:
<f:with bean="person">
<f:field property="name" wrapper="someWrapper"/>
<f:field property="address.city" wrapper="someWrapper"/>
</f:with>Override extra attributes
You can override the extra attributes on any field just changing the attribute value on the popper field or display
<f:with bean="person" wrapper="someWrapper">
<f:field property="name"/>
<f:field property="address.city"/>
<f:field property="address.zip" wrapper="differentWrapper"/>
</f:with>| Remember that if you want to use some of those attributes in the widget or displayWidget templates you need to prefix them with the widget- word (unless you have configured another prefix) |
