Useful

entryChanged

Boolean. If it is true, the entry has been changed and needs to be written to the soup. It remains true until the entry is saved and then it is set back to nil.

entryDirtied

Boolean. If it is true, the entry has been changed and written to the soup. It remains true while the entry is displayed.

target

The current soup entry being displayed in this entry view.

StartFlush

func(). You will call this routine if a change has been made to a slot in target. It will start a watchdog timer that will write the target back to the soup. Slot protos automatically call this routine on a change.

Retarget()

func(). This routine is called whenever the target changes. Call it if you change which entry target points to, or if you change slots in target that need to be reflected in slot protos.
