Hi,
Here is my feedback
- the feature is there, we are in the right direction!!!
- scalability issue: for lists, under property name, you list the items
match the criteria that we define when configure this property. In case
there are many items (for example using a custome query) how does it show?
(Do we show only 5 first items and then "more items match the criteria"
message?
- for database type lists, textarea is small, I am not sure that will be
comfortable for a dev to use it. Can we find a solution to make it bigger?
- for simple line and paragraph text, what does the "Auto complete" check
box do?

Hi,
It looks good. My only remarks are:
1/ Size is missing for Single/Multiline Text field
I think we need the size
What do you mean by size? Are you referring to number of rows (lines)?

No width for single and multiline fields

When you change the Display Type - lots of things
will change, like the
preview and the options. The only thing that we need to preserve is the

This is ok for the initial wizard step, but won't work when modifying
the application

ok works for me
