[Vtigercrm-developers] vTiger 6 New UIType

[Stefan Warnat]

Hy,

I will break in your discussion and would say, that this will be a great 
enhancement, how to handle uitypes!

If you move the data from function getFieldDataType() into database, 
this will open lots of possibilities. This shouldn't generate too much work.
But you will have your reason, if you don't do this.
