Hi all

I think this is a very important feature of the quick builder. I know it is currently called a builder, but it has been my experience that such things are simply generators. A generator generates code and is done. A builder can generate, but it also picks up existing settings when invoked a second time (re-entrant). This allows it to participate in on-going development. For example, re-arranging grid columns is much easier in the quick "builder" than in text.

I think that may not be too hard to add. Leave the Quick Builder button visible. When clicked, if there is no current configuration, just fill in the builder with blanks / defaults. Otherwise, read in the current configuration and update the builder. During generation output the changed "actions" and keep any other actions as is. Basically this would be a row by row merge.

Mike
