Feature requests

Feature	Comment
Better ID management than 5821 '5822' (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

Anonymous users can edit data in popup forms although $wgGroupPermissions['*'][“visualdata-caneditdata”] = false; is set in LocalSettings.php	Critical

Triggers for conditional field only work with one field, if more than one field depends on same condition only the last one works correctly
