Option to change display name for documents in treeview

Open Xeevis opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Currently when viewing documents in the tree view, they are represented only by the _Id property. However it would be much more human readable if it was a name and if there isn't a name then for example the firstName and if nothing can be matched then fallback to the _Id.

This could be handled in settings (ordered by priority)

"displayProperty": [
    "name",
    "firstName"
],

This would help quickly distinguish various roles, permissions, IdentityServer clients etc right in the tree.

Also this is default behavior in Azure Databases for VS Code.
