Extend Avo using regular Rails code and partials
We're developers too. We know how it feels to be "stuck" in a piece of software so we made Avo so you can't get stuck.
Whenever you need to create something custom, you have escape hatches built-in at different levels where you can do that. At field, resource, or page level.
Use regular Rails code to add the functionality you think it's missing. From request, to controller, to partial.
