Feature request: edit existing type rather than create new #8

This feature would make it easy to create nice custom content edit forms TTW using PloneFormGen.

It would require for example adding a TALES field that would return the the object to be edited.

Would each PFG instance be configured to edit a fixed content item, or should there be a way to select the content item to be edited each time the form is opened?

Major issue would be, how to pre-fill fields from the edited content type when opening the form.

This would require a new default view for PFG to be shipped with c.pfg.dexterity. That default view would look up the edited content type, fill-in the request with default values and then call the original view to actually render the form. POST-request would be passed to the original view as such.

Might be doable.
