Non-database fields on the admin side?

[medhat]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to create filds on the admin side that don't have
database columns behind them? I am thinking of something whose value
will drive some functionality in the save() method in the model, but
does not need to be saved.

If this does not exist, how about the following feature suggestion:
Have one of the parameters in the Field to specify that this field
should not have a database column, and another field that will specify
a model function that should be called to populate that field when it
is displayed.

Hey Medhat,

What you described is not currently possible, but that's a really
interesting idea. Let's put it on the list for when we rework the
admin application.
