The Magnolia 5 UI field transformer classes for fields no longer exist in the Magnolia 6 UI framework. Their functionality has been replaced by item providers ( ItemProviderStrategy interface). The providers allow to bind form views to complex nested data structures and fine tune such bindings. The following tables present the ports in more detail.
