powerEXT runs on a Data Dictionary ...


What would you recommend for use cases that aren't covered by the data dictionary? It seems that we often run into requirements that go beyond our basic database maintenance models. Maybe it wouldn't work to populate a drop down list with tens of thousands of options. Maybe users need to see the longer descriptions of the codes they enter. Maybe they need a data entry form to retain focus when the tab key is pressed, rather than navigating to background UI components that may also be on the page. Maybe a multi page dialog would improve the user experience. Maybe the options in an account code list must be limited to only those that pertain to an item selected from another list. Notwithstanding the large component library available in ExtJS, maybe you come up with a need for one that has not been invented, yet.
