UI for manually selecting posts to show in a Listing Grid #5441

Open dburke-ux opened 2 years ago

dburke-ux commented 2 years ago

Currently, for a content manager to specify posts to show in a listing grid, they need to enter IDs, which requires them to open the Posts admin in a new tab and copy the ID numbers - https://www.screencast.com/t/XjsZR7hws

Elementor's Posts Widget searches by title, which is a nicer experience as users don't need a second tab and copy+paste - https://www.screencast.com/t/VCBCAPChg4V

JetGridBuilder has an even better UI with a search similar to selecting images for a gallery - https://www.screencast.com/t/QEbOrIwdXpi

I would love to see either of these UIs added to the Listing Grid posts query settings to improve the client content management experience.

Just wanted to add: the Include/Exclude Posts by IDs fields are useful when filling with dynamic data from a Jet Engine Posts Field. So, these should remain as options with an additional field for the improved search UI shown above.
