 Description   

Currently jcr and mgnl properties are skipped by default when rendering the tree. This is fine in most cases but you might want to see them sometimes, e.g. in JCR browser app.

Comment by Federico Grilli [ 22/Jul/14 ]

On second thoughts the ability to display properties adds little value and an increased risk to damage your Magnolia instance as properties in config tree are writable by default. I also asked Jan's opinion about it "[…] currently when i need to see those, I just grab the path to the node from workbench and go to jcr queries and dump the node there ... or go there directly and type in the path i want to see with all props so it's not like you can't get that info. maybe it would be safe to show it if we can have it configured such that those properties are read only?
[…] the only one that you might want to potentially edit is mgnl:template, but I can't think of any other that should be editable ... and since there's quite number of them, it might be even better to have it as a toggle in action bar or elsewhere so you can show/hide them in similar fashion as you can show/hide files whose names start with dot in finder"
So, no need to rush into it. Needs further discussion.
