Revise Field Types display text (hoping for feedback) #104

Closed adswafford closed 6 years ago

Something like: Boolean -> Boolean (True/False) Categorical-> Categorical (Group A, Group B, etc.) Categorical-> Continuous (Dates, Measurements, etc) Text->Text

Adding lots of descriptive text like this will take up a lot of real-estate in the Field Type box, which will in turn squeeze the rest of the screen.

Can these be easily added as Tooltips/hover text? If not, then I think we can just try to give some info without taking up too much real estate: Boolean -> Boolean (True/False) Categorical-> Categorical (Group A, B, etc.) Categorical-> Continuous (numbers, dates, etc) Text->Free text

If this is still too big, then just do Boolean since it's the least familiar term.

@adswafford This is listed as "nice to have", which I understand to mean that it will NOT be included in the beta. Please clarify for me, as I see it is labeled for beta :)
