Re: Items in Context Area

For historical value and to help anyone in the future that may do a search on this topic, I will post a solution provided by a user of Oracle Metalink.

It was recommended to 'create an item group containing all the context items and then generate the form. This will put only the non context items in the overflow area.'

Thank you.
