Need a UX story for modifying / restoring default Schemas #168

Closed slinkp closed 11 years ago

slinkp commented 11 years ago

Currently we load the default schemas via fixtures. Problem is, if you change one, you have no way to get it back to its original state. (You could manually reload that fixture, but that would load everything in it, not just the one instance.)

One idea: Rather than loading the fixtures as model instances, we make a custom admin form that allows you to see and clone schemas from those fixtures. So you can always make another copy if you need to start over.

That's what the "Save as new" button is for.
