[Vtigercrm-developers] Q. on vt7 Detail/Summary view picklists

[Alan Lord]

OK - can one of the vtiger devs please talk about the "uimeta" API?

My colleague found the list of Picklist options hidden in a Javascript 
var. I can read the field info by running, for example:

 > uimeta.field.get('lsdwnld_rate');

What else can I do with this?
Can I "set" it?
Can I tell it to update/re-render?
Does it apply to all fields? (It seems to)...

TIA

Al
