[TW5] Add a new field Drop Down

[andrew.j.harrison84]

Greetings,

    I've wanted a drop down for the add a new field so much that I hacked one together. It isn't in a plugin and has some problems and I really don't know what I'm doing so I'm reaching out for feedback. I think there is also a change in the upcoming 5.1.9 which affects it also. I was wondering if anyone could take a look and tell me what they think before I go any further:

Hi Andrew

Great idea.:-)

Sorry I'm not able to help you with the details I'm afraid.... 

It seems to work very well as is, however:

Do you also get doubles - two sets of the same fields and two different field choosers when you install your tiddlers into a new TiddlyWiki?

Yes, sorry, I forgot to mention that if I get it working good enough I might try to do a pull request for the core. Since it does the same thing as $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/fields just with a drop down. I caution against modifying shadow tiddlers.

Hello Andrew,

I though about this several times. Glad you made it. I also like the fact that you have decided to do it using horizontal space rather than vertical. The only thing I miss is the popup firing when you put the focus on the fields field. You have set the popup of the edit-text widget.

Regards

Hello again everyone,
  Add a new field Drop Down now has focus popup. Thank you very much Danielo. It also has a separated list into personal and system. Let me know if anything should be done differently. Any more suggestions or should this be turned into a plugin or should it be a pull request for the core?

Very sweet!

Thanks. So, I wonder what else to do with it.
