Convert DataType Drop Down to Select2 #416

Closed Nicholas-Westby closed 7 years ago

Nicholas-Westby commented 7 years ago

When constructing the Archetype fieldsets by adding properties, there is a drop down that allows you to select the data type of each property. Can take a bit of time to scroll through the list when there are a lot of data types.

Rather than a plain drop down, I think it'd be much nicer to be able to type a portion of the data type name to see a filtered list to select from:

select2-data-types

This is a relatively frivolous feature request, but can't hurt to ask :-)

@Nicholas-Westby correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this require a thirdparty JS lib included?

Nicholas-Westby commented 7 years ago

@kjac That is correct, Select2 is a third party JavaScript library.

kgiszewski commented 7 years ago

Would prefer to avoid 3rd party stuffs if we can.

kjac commented 7 years ago

@kgiszewski thank you. I really do agree with that perspective - less maintenance and bug chasing that way.

I think we should hold off on this for now, and reconsider if more people start reporting something similar. Is that ok with you, @Nicholas-Westby?

Nicholas-Westby commented 7 years ago

Totally understandable. I'll go ahead and close this issue.
