Hi David,

This is really a Page Forms, not Cargo, question, but yes, you do need to modify both the template and form pages whenever you modify the data structure. I'm working on simplifying form pages, with the eventual goal of not requiring a form definition at all and just getting everything from the template definition, but that might be a ways off.

There's also another option, which is to use the Page Schemas class, which lets you define each "class" in just one place:

This might be overkill, though, depending on your needs.

Hi folks,

If I create a new class with Special:CreateClass, what is the procedure for later editing the class? Do I need to edit the template and form separately after their initial creation? Ideally, I'd like to develop my data model iteratively. Any instances of a class would just have empty values for parameters added later to the class. Is that possible? My classes look like
