I have this field definition (used the same a trillion times in other projects) in a schema of a controlpanel form which give me the attached error...anything missing here?

class ITargetRow(Interface):
    key = schema.TextLine(title="foo")
    bar = schema.TextLine(title="bar")


class lass ISettings(model.Schema):

    directives.widget(targets=DataGridFieldFactory)
    targets = schema.List(
        description=_(u"Synchronization targets"),
        required=False,
        title=_(u"Targets"),
        default=[],
        value_type=DictRow(title="row", schema=ITargetRow)
    )

Possibly answered here? There is no persistent field equivalent for the field 'A' of type `B`

Looking here: https://github.com/collective/collective.z3cform.datagridfield#id10 What you are doing should work since your value type is a DictRow...

Wait... are you importing from collective.z3cform.datagridfield.registry ?
