Attributes: User friendly types

Open Innders opened this issue 5 months ago • 0 comments

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 and boolean are all developer terms and hard to understand.
  • list of strings and string + 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.
