Hi, if I understand correctly, you are saying that it is possible
right now to substitute the default attribute editing window (that
contains a simple table) whit a custom one written in pyQT, if yes,
how?

Typical use case 1: a user inserts a new postgis feature and a causotm
editing form is displayed instead of the default one
use case 2: using the identify tool on a postgis layer feature, to
display a custom form into which the user can view/edit the
attributes.


It would be really great if it were already possible.

Regards.
