    Description

      User Story:

      As a developer or business analyst, I want to easily specify details for how the controls should be presented in the GUI, so that I can succeed in fulfilling my business requirements.

      With current state of CT, the model definition is very easy and clear, but if a developer needs a small modification to the UI it is confusing because they need to provide configuration in a confusing way in an app definition file.

      Its important that evaluators are not confused or disappointed by complexity of common CT-related tasks in Magnolia, compared to our competitors products.

       

      Acceptance Criteria:

      • Developer can tune the GUI of the controls in the same file as the CT model definition.
      • Controls are tuned with the same properties as the normal FieldTypeDefinitions.
      • The following GUI items can be achieved:
        • Field types
          • Tags
          • Twin Column (Multiselect)
          • Option group (Radio buttons)
          • Password
          • Code
        • Validation
          • HTML validation (email, phone, etc)
        • Rows property for Text input.
        • Tuning content previews (contentPreviewDefinition)
        • Specify "targetTreeRootPath"
        • Specify "fieldEditable"

       

      Some things would ideally be tunable with CT - but dont make sense to tune in a "presentation" context because they actually affect the data model. Such as:

      • Tuning data storage (identifierToPathConverter)
