[Rt-devel] AJAXy dependent custom fields?

[Ruslan Zakirov]

I think you don't need new column, but a new type of CF that uses an
attribute to store relation. New type allow you to create new mason
components for display and edit. So you'll be able to add custom JS to
a page where CF is shown for editing.

Some corner cases may arise, for example user has right on such
special CF and has no rights on linked.
