2 entities House and Door. 2 Associations between them. A house has a main door. A house has many other doors. I have a data view for editing a house. In there I made a grid for other doors and made a form to add/edit other Doors. But how can i reuse this form to edit the Main door? I was hoping if the inner dataview could let me pick an existing form. But no luck there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can't reuse it directly as it would be working on a different association, so you would need to do some amount of rework (copy the form, change the association it is using, etc.)

One thought/idea/question - is there a reason you couldn't have a boolean attribute on the Door entity to indicate if a door is a the main door? This way you could have one association. You could build a microflow to run after commit on the door entity and set all other doors to false if the door that was just committed is true.
