Hi All,
Finally, to solve the creating/editing object issue I followed the suggestions made and used pageConfigurations.
I'll post here what I did, just in case someone has to do a similar thing or has a suggestion to add.
.
First, as my application did not use pageConfigs, I had to change (in templates and pages code) all of
D2W.factory().
editPageForNewObjectWithEntityNamed(entityName(), session());
with
D2W.factory().
editPageForNewObjectWithConfigurationNamed("Create"+entityName(), session());

Similarly all
D2W.factory().
editPageForEntityNamed(object().entityName(), session()); 
with
D2W.factory().
pageForConfigurationNamed("Edit"+entityName(), session());


To reduce the number of rules to write, I used the like operator:
(pageConfiguration like 'Edit*') => task = 'edit'
(pageConfiguration like 'Create*') => task = 'edit'

And for each entity I created a rule:
(pageConfiguration like '*Customer') => entity = "Customer" (Entity Assigment)

So that it matches "EditCustomer" and "CreateCustomer".
I don't like much this part, but I suppose that if I have 100 entities, it is better to add a few rules for each one, than having them freezed or worse.

Finally, with all that set, I used rules like the one below to make those small differences between creating and editing an object.

As an example, here is one to make the id attribute readonly:
(pageConfiguration='EditCustomer' and propertyKey = 'id') => componentName = "D2WDisplayString"

If someone has any suggestions or notes to add I would like to hear them.
Thanks for all the help, it was very usefull.

Hi Guido,

Use the pageConfiguration:

pageConfiguration = "CreateMyObject" vs pageConfiguration = "EditMyObject"

I haven't used pageConfigurations before, but reading about it I see a problem with them for the issue I want them, because for it to work correctly I have to specify in the rules a few things.
"As a minimum, you need to provide rules for task and entity so the D2W Factory can determine what kind of page it is creating"
(pageConfiguration = 'CreateCustomer') => task = "edit"
(pageConfiguration = 'CreateCustomer') => entity = "Customer"

Does that mean that I would need to create a pair of configurations (EditXxx and CreateXxx) for each entity I have??

I suppose I would also need to change (in templates and pages code) all
D2W.factory().
editPageForNewObjectWithEntityNamed(entityName(), session());
with
D2W.factory().
pageForConfigurationNamed("Create"+entityName(), session());

I suppose it's possible, but it's a bit troublesome, or maybe I'm not getting the idea still.

Thanks for your support.

However, I don't really get how does this help my EditPage Template to distinguish between edit and create modes.
In my testing, both continue using task "edit", so how do I differentiate them in the Rule System?

Use the pageConfiguration:

pageConfiguration = "CreateMyObject" vs pageConfiguration = "EditMyObject"
