Allow VisualForce Detail Page to be an edit form

I would like to create a VisualForce page to override the Edit page for my objects. I can do this now, but I have to build the form by hand. Please enable the "Detail" component, which renders the correct page layout for the object/profile combo, to be put into edit mode.

This would be incredible, because I could then put a conditions-based redirect after the save action to send my User to the next action. This could be:

* a page for next steps on a recently won Opportunity
* a page outlining research steps for a newly created Account

This is a very powerful platform feature I'd love to see!

scott.m Aug 18	Merged Idea originally posted Jun 27 apex:DetailEdit Component I think it would useful to have a <apex:detailedit> component for the case that there are multiple record types with different layouts. The <apex:detailedit> would display the edit fields based on the layout similar to the <apex:detail> component. This would allow additional functionality to be added to the form for specific record types while using the already built in Salesforce layout functionality for displaying different input fields for different record types.
dutom Aug 19	I would like to use a <apex:component> in the page layout that can be used in edit mode. (inline not in an IFRAME) that allows you to bind it to a field and also send in parameters to the component. This can be useful for creating many different custom reusable controls without having to create a new visualforce page for every page layout.
satyendra_singh Oct 13	Yeah, <apex:detailedit> kind of component would be a great help for developers.
craskulinecz Yesterday	This would be very useful for what I am working on right now.
