Description

Currently in a dialog definition, to specify the type of field you must supply a fully qualified class name of the field, for example:

info.magnolia.ui.form.field.definition.TextFieldDefinition

For legibility, ease of development, and to make fields easier to remember, a developer should be able to use a short name instead of needing to specify the class name. (But the fully qualified class name may still be used.) In this case:

text

Still to decide is which field should be used to supply this field name, maybe the same field "class" or a new field "fieldType".

A developer should not have to specify a different dialog class for this functionality - it should work with the current default dialog.
