Feature	Comment
Better ID management than 6051 '6052' (Extension:IDProvider)	Similar to <unique number> in PageForms (see here). Solved with Extension:UniquePageTitle
Sorting function for multiple fields
Image preview on file upload	Theoretically already provided in the code, see /resources/VisualDataForms.js
Pre-filled fields on form call	Works in newer versions of VisualData - Custom code adjustment for handling nested and multiple values - should be committed to VisualData
For long pages: Scroll back to the previous page position after saving popup forms
Internationalization for values in select and dropdown lists	Possibly via switch statement, see: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualData/Queries_in_forms
Display label instead of schema name in tabs in forms
Add sub-items and fields in forms based on queries
Ability to open forms from the content block of another form (form button is currently not rendered)
Ability to show conditonal fields/form elements depending on VisualData queries

Bugs

v1.0.8

Bug	Comment
Anonymous users can edit data in popup forms although $wgGroupPermissions['*'][“visualdata-caneditdata”] = false; is set in LocalSettings.php	Critical (For example: Add a school here)
VE (VEForAll) does not load in inactive form tabs
Triggers for conditional field only work with one field, if more than one field depends on same condition only the last one works correctly
Internationalisation of labels does not work anymore, i.e. {{int:User}}
