UX Enhancement: Creating Media Sources not intuitive #12853

Open sottwell opened 8 years ago

sottwell commented 8 years ago

Summary

Creating and configuring a new Media Source requires two non-obvious steps.

Step to reproduce

Create a new Media Source.

Observed behavior

You get a simple form with three fields. Of itself this does nothing at all. You need to right-click and update to get the fields that actually define the Source.

Expected behavior

There could at least be a "next" button to open the second form.

Environment

All environments.

This does get a bit tricky, as other Sources, such as the Amazon S3 source, load a completely different secondary form. So the Media Source has to be saved before the second form can be loaded.

Also, if changing the Source Type in the second form the actual form doesn't change until the page is refreshed. So an automatic change of the form needs to be triggered, much in the same way a change in TVs is triggered by changing a resource's Template.
