The way the group selector works is not intuitive. I am not sure I understand the functionality completely because each Group has its own ID (why?). I suggest to simply use a single text area to enter all group definitions, similar to the simplification we did for Labels and values. Let me know if the following would work: ---- Technology The above example would mean you render a dropdown with two groups. If you need keys for the individual groups, you could use the same notation as for the field entry (but I don't see why you need them) This would significantly reduce the complexity for the end user in building multi-select, grouped drop down menus and feel much more natural because it mirrors the way one would write such groups in text. I have set this to blocker as the current way of doing it is not what I want to ship. |

For the time being I would just drop that paragraph. The proposed solution is nice. Instead of using ---- I propose to simply use indentation. Technology

I like the indentation idea, it looks even more natural |

Paragraph dropped for the moment, created a tag in svn to retrieve it later if needed. |
