You can eventually set it to hidden, but not the cleanest. Limitations are for the others XML files (config, layout, ...) Coding is now a piece of cake

I think there may be a bug when you have a radio type field in a forked xml.

The preprocessForm method is calling the $form->load method which is removing the radio fields.

Here is the calling code: (in classes/model/item.php)
$baseFolder = JPATH_COMPONENT .DS. 'fork' .DS. 'models' .DS. 'forms';
$formFile = $baseFolder .DS. $this->view_item .'.xml';
if (file_exists($formFile))
{
$xml = simplexml_load_file($formFile);
$form->load($xml, true);
}

I got it.

This is a problem in Joomla.

You must hack a line:
libraries/joomla/forms/forms.php - LINE 723

$olddom = dom_import_simplexml($current);
$loadeddom = dom_import_simplexml($field);

//HERE FIX JOOMLA ISSUE
//-$addeddom = $olddom->ownerDocument->importNode($loadeddom);
$addeddom = $olddom->ownerDocument->importNode($loadeddom, true);
//
$olddom->parentNode->replaceChild($addeddom, $olddom);
$loadeddom->parentNode->removeChild($loadeddom);

Coding is now a piece of cake

Although I found this tool some time ago I just started learning experimenting and building this first component on Monday and now on Thursday afternoon it's already online. Although I already had a working version done with another tool this is much easier to build and at the end you have the freedom to own your own component. Once you know how to use Cook you will boost your productivity as the learning curve is really moderate compared to many other tools.
