Hi Bryn,
Thanks for the feedback - interesting stuff!
Yes, I can certainly see how the solution you outlined would work for your situation. However, I'm a little reluctant to pursue this particular solution. Here's why: Views were designed to do a lot of what you already need. They give you a great deal of control over constructing subsets of the form data you can control what fields appear, in what order and which are editable. So the fact that this functionality already exists, I wouldn't want to add a second place (the Database tab) that would offer similar functionality. I think overall this would lead to more confusion... better to keep it in one place.
But we're definitely getting closer to a working solution - I really appreciate the feedback!
