Handling multiple form definitions (ui:annotationForm)
It is possible for a single class to be assigned multiple forms with ui:creationForm or ui:annotationForm
A permanent solution probably requires either a mechanism to give the user a choice, to hardcode an order of preference (e.g. based on the document ui:annotationForm is defined in) or allow a user to specify a priority level for the form.
For my immediate purposes I have the problem that the same ui:annotationForm statement can be specified in multiple documents, which results in the form being rendered multiple times.
The logic to return the form to be used is in: https://github.com/solid/solid-ui/blob/766c3f7906f991c582baad50f29061c1c9836a55/src/widgets/forms.js#L992
My temporary solution is to remove duplicate forms (i.e. ignore which document the ui:annotationForm statement was defined in). The two lines of code are here: https://github.com/josephguillaume/my-solidos-patches/blob/afad1a9cc443fc1c996eec5dcc9463f55c670a1f/solid-ui.diff#L46
Sorry I cannot really help you but do you know this talk on forms from @timbl https://solid.github.io/solid-ui/Documentation/talks/FormsTalk.html#(1)
No worries. This seems to be mostly a UX decision that needs to be taken at some point. If others run into this problem then hopefully they'll find this issue and we can continue the discussion here...
