I think its better to get a working version of BCMS-UI-Wizard on contribs rather than hold it back because of a problem with the merge.

Let me know (off-list) what changes are required to UI-Wizard to bring it back into line - or if its some feature I've added. If necessary I can then either rework the problem or move the relevent part out of BCMS into UI-Wizard to retain the feature.

Thank you both for answering.

My goal is to utilize the CR to define, generate, display, and validate object/attribute forms.

I'm using the CR docs as a guide for sequence of operations, and comparing CR and bcms APIs. I'm looking for a one-for-one correspondence between the two APIs, but they don't really match up. For example, where the CR docs show how to create a content type with content_type__create_type, I don't see a bcms API call to do the equivalent. But I do see correspondence in other areas.

Maybe this is the wrong approach? Is there a better approach? Possibly someone has already correlated the APIs and created a step-by-step that will show me at least a part of what I'm trying to do?
