Multiple Grails scaffolding templates in one application

Question

Hello,

I'm creating a DB web application with grails for my company and found myself in the need to change the default scaffolding templates.

So far so good, everything gets generated with the modified templates (controllers, views, ..).

Now, however, I get a request to create some "composite screens" with functionalities and a layout that differ from the overwritten templates.

So now my question is: is it possible in grails to create one or more templates (next the the default one) and pass this template name as an argument to the generate-* commands?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Adding the template name to the generate commands was just an idea, if it's possible to do this a different way, I'll be happy too.

I am not sure about the generate command parameters, but if you add another .gsp page into scaffolding directory, I believe it will try to run it through generation process.

So for example I used to have a show.gsp page as well as showBasic.gsp page, which showed fewer properties.
