Five EditFrom w/Fields appears broken

[Jim Pharis]

In Zope2.12.2...

Does anyone successfully use zope.formlib.form Fields with Products.Five.formlib.formbase EditForm? I was trying to figure out why my form_fields.omit and custom_widget were being ignored. I followed it up the stack and found the method setUpEditWidgets in zope.app.form.utility never takes Fields into account and just looks at the schema and context to determine the fields. So I was starting to think maybe you don't use Fields with Five forms, but there is a unit test in Products.Five.formlib.tests view.py that actually thinks its using Fields. I don't think this is actually the case though, the test just doesn't touch omit or custom_widget functionality so it passes thinking Fields is working.

The /Products/Five/form/__init__.py imports zope.app.form.utility setUpEditWidgets. zope.formlib has a different setUpEditWidgets method in zope/formlib/form.py that actually takes form_fields as the 1st param.

So in summary, if you think your using Fields in Five try using omit or custom_widget and see if it works and you actually are really using Fields. If it works maybe I have something messed up on my end.
