Move fields between form tabs - any way of doing it?

[alex.kolaric]

Hi,

is there any way to move the form fields defined in one tab to another tab in NT5 or NT6. Obviously it can't be done through the app editor. Can it be easily done by exporting proc to TXA and modifying the source so when it is imported back the fields belong to another tab?

thanks,
Alex

there's no easy way I'm aware of.

I started making a template utility to do it, but got swamped the complexity of multiple relations of all the fields. I thought it would be quick and dirty fix, but learned otherwise and I ran out of time.
As a matter of principle, it is on my 2012 fun things to do list.

I would be very interested in any approach you come up with.
(TXA method was not easy either)

yeah, unfortunately there's no "reflection" features in the template language, so while creating it is at least possible, maintaining it would be very difficult - which would make it "dangerous". Unfortunately I don't have a good solution for this yet.
