---+!! Feature Proposal: add set default button / js for form fields

%TOC%

---++ Motivation

Every time I see a WaitingFor or ComittedDeveloper text field, i want to click an 'add|remove Me' button - or a dropdown containing frequently used values...

---++ Description and Documentation

I'm hoping that we can do something quickly with jquery and perhaps Paul's EditorAPI stuff :)

---++ Examples

---++ Impact

%EDITTABLE{format="|label,1|text,70|" changerows="off"}%

---++ Discussion

The name of this topic isn't very revealing.. But I gather you want some auto-magicalness which suggests values based on something other than a static query :)

To solve the WatingFor/ComittedDeveloper problem, if trunk.foswiki.org had all the user topics that foswiki.org had, I'd change the form to use %SYSTEMWEB%.JQueryTextboxList - but of course this only works from edit.

Currently the "EditorAPI" work has base types of plaintext, plaintextarea, richtext, singlevalue, multivalue, static (and I have others waiting to be resurrected). The basetypes must have one or more handlers. For example, the multivalue type has handlers you are more familiar with: checkbox and select+multi. So the !DataForm line would contain =multivalue+checkbox= (or just =multivalue=, and the user can flick between handlers available for that type on-the-fly... not that this is something users would be entirely comfortable with).

Still working up an edit-from-view (inline-edit) strategy, which involves too much javascript, but I should be ready to share soon... oh so soon...
