Hi,
I have a big data model that I have split into around 10 model classes, each with its own set of Magritte descriptions. Now I'd like to put several of them into a single Magritte form. In other words, I want to have the form fields of model 1 and model 2 on the same page, but only one OK and one Cancel button. What would be the simplest way to do that? I found this snippet for re-arranging fields / descriptions [1]: buildComponentFor: aModel ^((ModelClass descriptionFieldOne, ModelClass descriptionFieldTwo, ModelClass descriptionFieldThree) componentRenderer: MACssRenderer; asComponentOn: aModel) addValidatedForm; yourself but it is using a single model object.

Another possibly to the already suggested one is the following: Since #asComponent returns a simple Seaside component, you can compose several of these components in one Seaside component. You can then decorate the parent component with the Magritte form- and validation- decoration and simply dispatch requests to validate and save to all your child components. Hope this helps?

Lukas,
thanks a lot, I'll try that as well. I thought that I had to do more work for this, but it looks simple enough.
