I'm trying to build a extension where I can dynamically add new Customer Attributes just like I would do with Product Attributes. The thing is that I'm new to Admin Grid and I'm not finding the a few references such as required fields for a customer attribute and how to sync frontend_type with Options Tab. So far this is what I got:

 // controllers/AttributesController.php

 protected function editAction()
 $attributeId == 0) 
 Mage::register('entity_attribute', $attributeModel);
 Mage::register('customer_attribute_data', $attributeModel);
 $this->loadLayout();
 $this->_setActiveMenu('customer');
 $content = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('dev_customerattributes/adminhtml_attributes_edit');
 $left = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('dev_customerattributes/adminhtml_attributes_edit_tabs');
 $this->_addContent($content)->_addLeft($left);

 $this->renderLayout();
 else 
 Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addError('Customer attribute does not exist');
 $this->_redirect('*/*/');
 
 

 // Block/Adminhtml/Attributes/Edit.php

class Developer_CustomerAttributes_Block_Adminhtml_Attributes_Edit extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form_Container

 public function __construct()
 
 $this->_objectId = 'attribute_id';
 $this->_blockGroup = 'dev_customerattributes';
 $this->_controller = 'adminhtml_attributes';

 parent::__construct();

 $this->_updateButton('save', 'label', 'Save Todo');
 $this->_updateButton('delete', 'label', 'Delete Todo');
 

 public function getHeaderText()
 
 if (Mage::registry('customer_attribute_data') && Mage::registry('customer_attribute_data')->getId()) 
 return $this->__('Edit Customer Attribute "%s"', $this->htmlEscape(Mage::registry('customer_attribute_data')->getData('attribute_code')));
 else 
 return $this->__('Add Customer Attribute');
 
 

 // Block/Adminhtml/Attributes/Edit/Form.php

class Developer_CustomerAttributes_Block_Adminhtml_Attributes_Edit_Form extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form

 protected function _prepareForm()
 
 $form = new Varien_Data_Form(array(
 'id' => 'edit_form',
 'action' => $this->getUrl('*/*/save', array('attribute_id' => $this->getRequest()->getParam('attribute_id'))),
 'method' => 'post'
 ));
 $form->setUseContainer(true);
 $this->setForm($form);

 return parent::_prepareForm();
 

 // Block/Adminhtml/Attributes/Edit/Tabs.php

class Developer_CustomerAttributes_Block_Adminhtml_Attributes_Edit_Tabs extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Tabs

 public function __construct()
 
 parent::__construct();
 $this->setId('customerattributes_tabs');
 $this->setDestElementId('edit_form');
 $this->setTitle($this->__('Attribute Information'));
 

 protected function _beforeToHtml()
 
 $this->addTab('main_section', array(
 'label' => 'Attribute Properties',
 'title' => 'Attribute Properties',
 'content' => $this->getLayout()
 ->createBlock('dev_customerattributes/adminhtml_attributes_edit_tab_main')
 ->toHtml()
 ));

 $this->addTab('options_section', array(
 'label' => 'Attribute Options',
 'title' => 'Attribute Options',
 'content' => $this->getLayout()
 ->createBlock('dev_customerattributes/adminhtml_attributes_edit_tab_options')
 ->toHtml()
 ));

 return parent::_beforeToHtml();
 

 // Block/Adminhtml/Attributes/Edit/Tab/Main.php

class Developer_CustomerAttributes_Block_Adminhtml_Attributes_Edit_Tab_Main extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form

 protected function _prepareForm()
 
 $form = new Varien_Data_Form();
 $this->setForm($form);
 $fieldset = $form->addFieldset('todo_form', array('legend' => 'ref info'));

 $fieldset->addField('attribute_code', 'text', array(
 'label' => 'Attribute Code',
 'class' => 'required-entry',
 'required' => true,
 'name' => 'attribute_code'
 ));

 $fieldset->addField('attribute_label', 'text', array(
 'label' => 'Attribute Label',
 'class' => 'required-entry',
 'required' => true,
 'name' => 'attribute_label'
 ));

 $fieldset->addField('frontend_label', 'text', array(
 'label' => 'Frontend Label',
 'class' => 'required-entry',
 'required' => true,
 'name' => 'frontend_label'
 ));

 $fieldset->addField('frontend_input', 'select', array(
 'label' => 'Frontend Input',
 'class' => 'required-entry',
 'required' => true,
 'name' => 'frontend_input',
 'value' => 'select',
 'values' => Mage::getModel('eav/adminhtml_system_config_source_inputtype')->toOptionArray()
 ));

 if (Mage::registry('customer_attribute_data')) 
 $form->setValues(Mage::registry('customer_attribute_data')->getData());
 else 
 return parent::_prepareForm();
 
 

 // Block/Adminhtml/Attributes/Edit/Tab/Options.php

class Developer_CustomerAttributes_Block_Adminhtml_Attributes_Edit_Tab_Options extends Mage_Eav_Block_Adminhtml_Attribute_Edit_Options_Abstract
