I'm wanting to populate a text widget with a named query binding. I'm going to populate the next ticket number. The query works just fine, but I'm having issues with populating the text widget. I wish I could just drop a label in. The forms document seems more cumbersome than just building a form without it. ---

I was unaware I could add the ID of my widget and make bindings there. That was it!
