I'm with Matthias: the Form Aware plugin has some limitations, for example
it does not work in the attribute table but it only works in the form view.

BTW, I agree that the functionality should be in core.

Unfortunately it is not an easy task and requires a deep understanding of
the attribute table and form widgets implementation and might require a
refactoring of the whole system, I'm afraid I'm not the right person to
address this issue.

I really hope that eventually somebody will find the time and funds to make
this enhancement.
