article form defined in write tab (modified module) has precedence above form en listform in in article tag

What steps will reproduce the problem? ------------------------------------

1. choose a module for article in write tab
2. use this in page layout:
   <txp:article limit="10" form="article" listform="article_listing />
   or <txp:article limit="10" form="article" />
   or <txp:article limit="10" listform="article_listing />
   or <txp:article limit="10" />
3. In all cases, no matter which (list)forms are used in the page tag, the
   articles with a form specified in the article context (even if the default
   form is chosen) are displayed with that form. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? -----------------------------------------------------
   I expect that all articles should be displayed with the specified listform
   if there is no individual_article. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? --------------------------------------------------------------------
   cms: textpattern 4.2
   os: windows xp Please provide any additional information below. -----------------------------------------------
   No matter what I do (I tested it in a lot of contexts) the following
   precedence is used when displaying an article in article list:

• article form
• tag listform
• tag form

Work around

Instead of a modified module use a custom_field for defining the article
form and redirect it using the default article form if it is an
individual_article

Try adding allowoverride="0".

Works as intended.

allowoverride="boolean"
Whether to use override forms for the generated article list.

Default: 1 (yes).

Maybe I'm stupid and understood that other forms are overridden by the tag-att
listform and indeed allowoverride="0" works for the article list, but for an
individual article the article form is overridden by the tag form.

I solved it in this way:

txp:if_individual_article
<txp:article form="xxxx_article" [ allowoverride="1" ] />
<txp:else />
<txp:article listform="article_listing" limit="15" allowoverride="0" />
/txp:if_individual_article

Maybe a better explanation in the tag reference should be desirable.

Anyway thanks for the tip...
