Nice -- can you add a few screenshots to this PR? What is the specific error message you get? For state saving to work you need to implement the state property (which it looks like you attempt to do via the |

Yeah that might be a better option to start with (assuming it doesn't collide with any other FormElement -- I need to check). Likewise the text element could recognize strings (again, in a way that doesn't break the behavior of special strings like 'att')

While I know the idea of the custom_viewers is to make things easier for non-developers; have you thought about allowing the settings definitions to recognize form elements directly? Something like:
cv = custom_viewer('CV', a=NumberElement(1, 10))
We could support both pretty easily.

Some commits related to issues #650. @ChrisBeaumont , I'm getting a weird error related to saving the custom viewer, can you take a look and point me in the right direction.
Some doc changes are coming in the next push.
