Nope, your right, it doesn't. Surely the form must know what the LOV is
thats attached to an item? Anyway...
The only solution I can think of is to make sure that the LOV's are named exactly after the item your in. Then you could get the item name, tinker with it till you've got the LOV name then do a find_lov to get the lov id. Then you can do whatever you want(!).
Not an brilliant solution (it might not even be a working solution), but worth a try!
