## What is the feature?

The ability to create a resource (e.g. a Product) creation wizard.

## What problem does this solve for you?

Often we find that the 1:1 mapping of resource creation is not sufficient. For instance creating a “Product” is not as simple as creating just a product model in the db. There are many other resources that need to be created in addition.  
It would be useful to present the end user with a simple UI that abstracts all the db complexity away.

I am aware of features like smart actions, and functionality like overriding the forest admin controllers to provide custom behaviour.

It feels like it should be a cross between a smart action and a smart view (not one tied to a collection view).

Thanks.
