When adding your new fantastic multiply dropdown feature to my custom fields in a form, I found that the fields are beginning to be in a little bad order.
New custom fields that I add are always placed in the bottom of the form. That is not always a logic or user-friendly order.
It would be great if it in the future would be possible to move elements around to get a very logic and nice order. Either with drag and drop like you have in the filters or by giving them a sorting ID-number.
building something like that would be prohibitively expensive so its a no-go , but looking at the code it seems we sort items by the id (the order in which the drop down labels were created) , we’ll sort them by default as [a-z][0-9]
I would agree with sge. It’s great that I can add custom fields, rename all fields etc., but not allowing the user to reorder based on a logical workflow seems very odd. It does not seem very practical or efficient to put these at the bottom especially if you want to add a sub category or data element to something you already created. Since eramba has been effectively been built as a flexible, dynamic workflow based system, this sees fairly justifiable. I get the “expensive” in terms of possible dev time but having worked for a software company in the past where we implemented a feature like this, I would not think it is prohibitively expensive and should be considered in the near future after your upcoming major updates.
Thanks mbiby.
Reordering does not have to be fancy “drag-move-and-drop” solution like many others GRC systems.
But maybe we could just give every field an “order number” instead
