widget
Purpose
Changes the HTML form field type used in scaffolding the associated domain class property.
Examples
description widget: 'textarea'
Description
Changes the GSP tag used for editing values of the corresponding domain class property in the scaffolding. For example, the above would cause the scaffolding to use
<g:textArea … />
for 'description' edit fields.
This constraint is also added to scaffolding tags for boolean (checkbox), date (datePicker), and collection (*select) properties, but it has no effect in those cases.
Error Code: This constraint only impacts look and does not create errors.
