Bug #: 32976
Summary: [SF] fields to allow only existing values, with error
otherwise
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: SemanticForms
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Consider a field that lets a user set a value based on a category, like this:
{{{field|FieldName|input type=text with autocomplete|values from
category=Category}}}
Currently, the field will allow the user to save a value that does not exist.
I propose that the field can be defined so that the saved value is limited to
existing values, like this:
{{{field|FieldName|input type=text with autocomplete|values from
category=Category|existing values only}}}
The user could still type in a non-existing page, but existence is verified
after the user clicks the "Save page" button. If the value does not exist
within the "values from" parameter, an error message displays and the form
stays open. That error message behavior would match that of a mandatory field
that is empty when submitted.
