    Use Contour to store non-contour form data

    I like to use the Contour data storage to store data from both contour and non-contour forms. That gives me a nice records display and also the ability to create and use the workflows. It seems to be working out well.

    But I have a slight problem when it comes to identifying the fields. As far as I understand there are no name/alias, but only a Caption. Which will be a bit problematic as the Captions are in Swedish (with possible special characters), I like the data field name in english and also Captions should be able to change over time.

    Can anyone recommend me a way to handle this? Can I add an optional key in the Settings list of strings? (I've even considered using the ToolTip as a hack'ish solution.)

    Regards

    Jonas

    I figured I can use #fieldname and the dictionary

    Like  http://lynggaard.nu/2010/05/adding-records-to-umbraco-contour-programmatically/

    that will give me translated dictionary items in regular Contour forms, but it would be very cool if the Entries table also got the captions translated :)
