SmartGWT 4.1
SmartClient Version: v9.1p_2014-11-09/PowerEdition Deployment (built 2014-11-09)
I have created a very simple form that makes use of nested fields. When I programattically call setValues for fields that are nested they update in the UI as expected, however for fields that contain nested values they do not. I am curious what the proper methodology is, and if I am truly expected to tell these form items to redraw?

SimpleForm.java -- Nested object fields do not update without redrawing FormItems
