The resulting data is either stored as a serialized array or in a custom entity relationship (ORM). [![](docs/widget.png)](docs/widget.png) #### Design decisions / Limitations [](#design-decisions--limitations) The group element widgets are still 'first class citizens' of the respective DCA. Only their definition will be made on the fly. This way we're not messing with the act of rendering and state of the displayed child widgets. As a result, adding new elements via the *plus* button will submit the current DCA form to add the new element. Visual reordering of elements is done via the CSS `order` property. This way `iframes` can be kept alive (the DOM won't change) which is especially helpful when dealing with components like the `tinyMCE` rich text editor.
