Placing Form Fields inside layouts: Add "Region" parameter to addField

[PhilippGrashoff]

Hi there,

a constant (and quite the only real) trouble I run into when using Agile UI is to place a Form Field exactly where I want it. When adding a field to a form with Form->addField(), I have no option to specify where this field should show, the standard Formlayout just displays the added fields first to last.
This led to some ugly workarounds I did to get the form fields where I want them in the layout.

An idea I just stumbled across which seems very sensible at first glance is to add a "Region" parameter to Form->addField(). Using this, regions could be defined in Form Template or Formlayout Template (I think the former would make more sense) and much more control over the form rendering could be easily achieved.

you can add field like this:

$any_view = $form->add(['template'=>$tpl]);
$any_view->add([new FormField\Anything(), 'form'=>$form]);

That does the job, thanks again for these examples. Less puzzled now.
