Attributes: User friendly types
Story
I am not a developer and do not know what "list of strings" means. I set the type and save the attribute but then try to change the type later on.
Problems
-
list of strings
string
,enumerator
andboolean
are all developer terms and hard to understand. -
list of strings
andstring
+ enumerator is even more confusing
Proposal
Come up with user friendly terms to describe these technical types.
string
-> Text
string + enumerator
-> Select
list of strings
-> Multi-select + Switch to toggle Custom options
TODO
- [ ] Split string into two type options -> text and select (string with enum).
- [ ] Rename list of strings to Multi-select.
- [ ] Multi-select has an option to allow custom options.
- [ ] Maybe some icons for the types would be nice?
- [ ] The type can only be set when creating the attribute and disabled when editing.
