Delete Item Confirmation Text #21

I think there's room for a mental disconnect from the user's perspective when seeing the Delete Item confirmation modal. Current text reads:

"Are you sure you want to permanently delete item #634?"

But the item number isn't currently displayed on screen, so user doesn't have reference to know they're deleting the right item.

Possible solutions might include adding item numbers to the display, or adding some sort of identifying info to dialogue text, ie "Are you sure you want to permanently delete TIMES CERTAIN item #634?".

Good point. Once an item is published it gets an item number too, which is NOT the id (the #634 is the id). It might be better to have a truncated snippet like:

Are you sure you want to permanently delete TIMES CERTAIN item "Amend ordinance to change effective date..."?

So it gives them an idea of what they clicked and not an ID from the DB which is confusing...
