 Description   

We used to show a visualization of a referenced content item in the corresponding dialog field. That is no longer the case - we currently only show the actual data (in case of the contact: first name, name) of the referenced item. That's a pity - as an image says more than one thousand labels.

Changing this to critical, since it was important to Philipp.

Thanks for the showing the preview, that makes quite a difference already.

Can we improve the preview optically? The easiest fixes would be:

  • move the whitespace between the label and the colon after the colon (e.g. "Name: Bach" instead of "Name :Bach".
  • align all labels, align all values
  • add a padding between the "select" button and the image
  • vertically center the select button

In addition, it would be nice if you could properly label the "select" button:

  • label it "select..." or better "select contact...", when nothing is selected
  • label it "select different contact...", once a contact has already been selected.

Added screen shot illustrating the missing visualization.

Moved this to MGNLUI to group them together with other form-related issues.
Added component(s) to the issue in order to allow them to be filtered more easily.
