12/01/2022, 2:30 PMNaming things is hard. In Contentment Data List editor, there's a User-defined data-source that uses an internal editor to define the items of the data-source.
I've been working on a new data-source that can take values from existing properties, and it'd make sense to re-use that internal editor and make it to be a "proper" property-editor...
(I've done all that bit), problem is, what to name it? I'm currently at "Data List Item editor" - which sounds rubbish, AND I worry that it'll be too confusing with regular Data List editor.
...and I'm not looking to give it a snazzy name, more about that it does what it says on the tin. 🤔

12/01/2022, 3:49 PMie, would someone use this standalone?

12/01/2022, 3:54 PMCurrently the UI is fixed for name/value/icon/description (because that's what Data List can use). I wasn't planning on making it super flexible.

12/01/2022, 4:00 PMI mean, if it's only meant to be used by the data list editor, then I don't think data list item editor is that bad

12/01/2022, 4:57 PMMy niggle is that it'd be listed next to regular Data List editor. Guess I'm wanting to avoid confusion.
Wondering about dropping the "Data" bit and have "List Item editor" 🤔
(I'm probably overthinking it, but guess I'm also trying to avoid future potential support faux pas 🫢 )
