Let's discuss what we want to do. Is there any reason why we don't want to apply the original design? At least the "store" seems more clear to me than "new value". cc @jkicillof @bcardiff

I don't recall if we differ intentionally wrt original design.

The store would appear always, as soon as the drag started or upon hover?

It's still not clear what needs to be done here. Should "new value" or "store" be used? In any case, if we use "new value" or "store", the text shouldn't change when dragging over a field because its width will change and that's a bit confusing/disturbing. I think "new value" is somewhat clear: it's a placeholder for a new value, while the actions on the left would say its storing this new value.

Maybe we should replace "store" with "update" to make it clear. When the user creates a new row we use "New value", when the user updates an existing row we use "update". The dropping area width should be fixed, if the text doesn't fit we should use ellipsis.
