 Description   

As speced here: http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/UX/Editing+assets+using+the+Assets+app the format field should show information about the asset.
However the format information is on a jcr:content/ subnode of the item node.

However this information will be presented as a read-only field on the form.

One approach would be to create a new field type assetFormat that would properly display the format information - much like the uploadField does now.

Another approach would be to aggregate the information to a new value on the item node, and then simply use a textField to display it. A problem with this is that the information is stored redundantly and could get out of synch.

Could another approach be to extend the field/form concept to enable at least read-only access to subnodes of an item?
