Hi Dmitry,

I resolved the problem and I kept the things simply.
I have created the connection in both classes.

But another question about extension.
My extension uses a flexform. But I cannot get rig of the default
"Starting Point".
I don't need this but I don't find anywhere a reference about this field.

Can you tell me what I should modify in order to accomplish this?

Best regards,
Livius
