Problem:

Summary: add CF-ORM support to CFFORMWouldn’t it be nice if one could do this:[code]<cfform entity="myEntity">[code]This would take either the name of an entity (for a data entry form for a new object), or an entity instance which would provide a form for updating an existing entity.This would generate a form with input controls for each property of the entity, using sensible control types, and possibly a wee bit of clientside validation (number types must be numbers, etc).A lot of people poopoo <cfform>, based a lot on its history of being quite rubbish, but I think it’s actually come a long way, and whilst not the 100% solution to all situations, it’s an 80% solution for 80% of requirements.I also think for a lot of the hoi polloi, being able to combine quick-and-dirty forms with quick-and-dirty ORM would be a godsend.  And fits that RAD notion that CF is so fond of espousing, too.Also see discussion here: https://prerelease.adobe.com/project/forum/thread.html?cap=87529bda13744b3db718e841890b9240&forid={267a8bea-8d25-435c-a533-6c830dd686ca}&topid={747fe802-c16c-4e20-9d5e-b6b42cfc65f8}-- Adam

Comments:

To be able to generate a data-entry form, by simply passing "entity" attribute to cfform tag, would just be so slick. I see this was SP5'd, but it'd be nice to raise again in next release - to get people's idea on how best to implement.
