Creating a custom variable editor

I created 2 new custom tables. Both extend directly from the Task table.


One is for a new type of request record and the other is the new task table for that record. Think of it like a new incident table and a new incident task table.

I'm using record producers to create the actual request and I wanted to have the variable editor show up on the top record.

I was able to do this pretty easily be creating a new System UI formatter on this table that reuses the OOB formatter "com_glideapp_questionset_default_question_editor". It works great.

What I can't figure out is how to get the variable editor to show up on my task table. I tried reusing the same editor from above and attaching it to my new table but none of the fields come over. I ultimately want it to work just like the variable editor on Requests and RITMs where the RITMs show all the variables from the REQ.

Something tells me the formatter isn't configured to do that. Has anyone done this before?
