 Description   

TIMEBOX: investigate. 3pts

The term "Datasource" is introduced in two prominent ways in recent development:

  1. It is used in Content type definitions.
  2. It is used in App definitions.

It is likely to cause unnecessary confusion to project developers.

Ideas:

  1. The term could be changed to something else in one of the usages.
  2. The Datasource in CT could be aligned with the other one so that they share property names etc.
  3. Consider prefix/suffix if a better term is not available

Needs review & alignment of CT and UI framework (mgeljic)

Seems to be too late to introduce this without config/binary incompatibilities.
