What are the plans to improve the user experience? Especially for fields where the input type is checked somehow.
Error messages a la "An error occurred while trying to perform save and because of this, your changes could not be completed." don't really help when I try to enter a URL to a property called "image". And clicking on details to find "Malformed input: http://foobar.org/image.png"; is not better.
