Datacapture

Can datacapture display some content entry fields for some users and other fields for others? Is there an XML attribute that can customize this? Please share! Thanks,

I don't think so. Let me know if you find out.
Feature Request ?
If you are looking to set ACL, see <allowed> tag in the TST dev guide.

Thanks for the assertion... I don't think this is something that could be solved with ACL's but if anyone else has any ideas as to how this could be implemented, please share. Thanks again,

Yes, this is precisely what the <allowed> element is for. Check the DCT chapter of the templating developer's guide.

Take care if you are using 4.51, the <allowed> tag doesn't work as you would expect for replicants. (Not sure if this is true for other versions)
We tried to repurpose what we refer to as a developer template. We applied allowed tags to fields which we did not want authors accessing (Our editors are typically web developers and authors are the business line ). Worked fine on all but our replicant item. When the replicant was not allowed for the author anytime an author would save and exit the information previously within the replicant was lost. Ended up having to not allow authors access to one of the items in the replicant and let them have access to the other item, with strict instructions not to edit that particular field. Not exactly a pretty solution, but at least we do not lose the replicant information.
