Forms DW7 cannot use systemname in fieldoptions

Hey

I have a problem with a DW7 form where i have some radiobutton options and im trying to style my own form using the field tags, but i have run into a problem regarding the name and id of fieldoptions, there doesn't seem to be any tag that references the systemname of the field that the fieldoptions adhere to, hence i would have to hardcode the systemname into the fieldoptions, which i don't find acceptable.

I noticed a tag thats called "Field.Option.ParentSystemname" but it only returns a number (don't now what to?), not the systemname for the parent field which i would have suspected it to return.

Any way of doing this without having to hardcode form fieldoptions? Somehow in order to use fieldoptions for anything you would need the systemname of the parent which currently isn't present.

In Dynamicweb 8.2.1.0 you are able to use tag values of the parent context (Field) inside a loop (FieldOptions) by using the new Parent tag., like this:

<!--@Form.Start-->
<!--@Form.Hidden-->
<!--@LoopStart(Form.Fields)-->
<div class="listitem<!--@Form.Fields.LoopMod2--> clearfix">
    <!--@If(Field.Type=="Radio")-->
    <fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
        <legend>
            <!--@Field.Label-->
        </legend>
        <!--@LoopStart(FieldOptions)-->
        <label for="<!--@Parent(Field.Systemname)-->_<!--@FieldOptions.LoopCounter-->" class="left">
            <!--@Field.Option.Text-->
        </label>
        <input type="radio" name="<!--@Parent(Field.Systemname)-->" id="<!--@Parent(Field.Systemname)-->_<!--@FieldOptions.LoopCounter-->" value="<!--@Field.Option.Value-->" />
        <!--@LoopEnd(FieldOptions)-->
    </fieldset>
    <!--@EndIf-->
    <!--@If(Field.Type!="Radio")-->
    <label for="<!--@Field.Systemname-->" class="left <!--@If Defined(Field.Required)-->required<!--@EndIf(Field.Required)--> <!--@Field.ValidationValue-->">
        <!--@Field.Label-->
        <!--@If Defined(Field.Required)-->
        &nbsp;*<!--@EndIf(Field.Required)-->
    </label>
    <!--@Field.Control-->
    <!--@EndIf-->
    <!--@If Defined(Field.Description)-->
    <span class="description">
        <!--@Field.Description-->
    </span>
    <!--@EndIf(Field.Description)-->
</div>
<!--@LoopEnd(Form.Fields)-->
<!--@Form.Button.Submit-->
<!--@Form.Button.Reset-->
<!--@Form.End-->

Hi Morten

Yes, that is not good enough. Will have the template documentation updated.
