Dynamic Dashboard Items - Possibly based on "For Each Topic" #306

Open d-mansfield opened 12 months ago

Description

In my work, I deal with a lot of unknowns or highly varied systems regarding incoming data that require standardized code to handle the incoming data. Displaying this data in NodeRed has not only held me back, but largely held back wider adoption of NodeRed at my place(s) of business.

Since Dashboard 1 cannot handle this at all, I always find myself using UIBuilder (which I LOVE and am very thankful for). However, the time commitment to building something from scratch very rarely aligns with my actual deliverables.

I'd love to be able to drag and drop some different UI features, specify some "for each" key, and have the UI dynamically handle the UI elements for any incoming data based on that key, or something similar to that.

Not only would this save me days (weeks even!) of work, but also give me a much stronger case in pushing NodeRed as a solution for many of the projects we handle.

Thanks!

Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue?
