|---|---|
| Lua equivalents for #visualdataquery and #visualdataprint and possibility to retrieve JSON from json-data slot in Lua | frame:callParserFunction() can be an alternative. Retrieving json-raw in Lua seems to be a problem, mw.text.jsonDecode() fails, possibly because of strip markers (About strip makrers, Example, )? |
7139 '7140' (Extension:IDProvider) |
Similar to <unique number> in PageForms (see here). Solved with Extension:UniquePageTitle |
| Sorting function for multiple fields / sub-items | |
| Image preview on file upload | Theoretically already provided in the code, see /resources/VisualDataForms.js |
| CSV Import | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| Ability to edit json-data Slot | |
| Form parameter to restrict forms to given user groups | |
| Additional operators in queries (OR) - does it make sense to impelement a JSON query language like https://jmespath.org/ |
