Allow pre-seeding a create form With this feature the Site Settings create form can be pre-seeded with it's "magic values", which allows those fields to be hidden from the user. At the same time, it allows 'Edit Main Site Settings' to either create or edit the Main Site Settings.

"Functions that help with dynamically creating decorators for views."
