Group Selector: please simplify
-------------------------------
Key: MGNLFORM-9
URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MGNLFORM-9
Project: Magnolia Form Module
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Boris Kraft
Assignee: Teresa Miyar
Priority: Blocker
The way the group selector works is not intuitive.
I am not sure I understand the functionality completely because each Group has
its own ID (why?).
I suggest to simply use a single text area to enter all group definitions,
similar to the simplification we did for Labels and values. Let me know if the
following would work:
---- Technology
High Tech:high-tech
Low Tech:low-tech
---- Insurance
Health Care:health care
Home:home
Car:car
The above example would mean you render a dropdown with two groups. If you need
keys for the individual groups, you could use the same notation as for the
field entry (but I don't see why you need them)
This would significantly reduce the complexity for the end user in building
multi-select, grouped drop down menus and feel much more natural because it
mirrors the way one would write such groups in text.
I have set this to blocker as the current way of doing it is not what I want to
ship.
