ER: subset editor & dimension editor: improve the attribute display selection
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In the latest 4.2 release the attribute selection has been fixed where long names would cause the display toggle to overlap to the next row. However, the user experience is still far from perfect. Here are some suggestions to make it better.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Proper and sensible ordering. Currently alias atributes are first, but then all other attributes come "jumbled" (well actually in index order of the }ElementAttributes dimension with oldest attributes first and newly created ones last. Group by type in the order Alias, Text, Numeric. Within each group order alphabetically. This will make finding attributes much easier.
- In addition to the all attributes on/off toggle, if each sub-group (alias, text, numeric) also has a header row then thsi could be used to toggle all numeric attributes off for example while leaving text attributes selected.
- Implement a combo-box to allow for wildcard search of attribute name. This would be very useful for dimensions with many attributes rather then needing to scroll the entire list and select via click.
