Feature	Comment
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 )?
~~Better ID management than `7121` '7122' (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
~~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
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/
