Tag-Lists (with auto completion) instead of comma-seperated lists #679

Open christian-konrad opened 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

In the properties panel, you oftentimes need to specify a comma-seperated list when you enter multiple property values, for example the delegated users of a user task. Comma-seperated lists are prone to errors and inconvenient for users, even for developers. Furthermore, if we want to provide a way for Form builders to set defaults for a multi-select component (checkbox or tag list), this must also be scalable and provide the selectable values for the user to select.

Describe the solution you'd like

A new tag-list input type for all list-based properties with autocompletion/-suggestion if there are values to select from.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Sticking to comma-seperated lists and taking the risk of telling the user implicitly "we don't care about your UX"

Ignore now, maybe build later (when we need it in Forms or get bad feedback for current comma-seperated lists)
