[Qgis-user] use autogenerated form in Qgis for same table in different postgres databases

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi Janneke,

this is not answering your question... but, have you tried the 
DataDrivenInputMask plugin [1]. It auto-generates input masks for 
PostgreSQL layers. Only prerequisite is a properly designed database in 
respect to constraints, default values, data types.

regards

Bernhard
