PS: I would prefer to work on a holistic approach instead of adding individual tickets. To prevent the user interface from getting even more cluttered by letting it grow organically. It always makes me want to scream when I see the fields configuration dialog. Until I realize that it was actually also me adding a lot of stuff in there.
Therefore, please add comments and improvements to this document: https://github.com/m-kuhn/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/blob/fields-and-forms-redesign/QEP-Fields-and-forms-redesign.rst#31-fields and the associated discussion https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/pull/13 Cheers Matthias On 06/26/2015 01:53 PM, Matthias Kuhn wrote: > Hi, > > Yes, tooltips that show the comments would also be great.
