Modal Schema Window in Console

[Jan Bernhardt <jb...@talend.com>]

Hi Syncoper,

I just took a look at the schema modal window in syncope when editing or creating a schema.

I was wondering about three things.

1) Why does "Mandatory condition" contains a text field instead of a checkbox like Multivalue or Read-only ?

2) Is conversation pattern used for anything else then date pattern?

3) Could be rearrange the element order? My suggestion would be:
Name (most important attribute)
Type (since this is the second most important attribute IMHO)
Conversation Pattern (read-only except for Date?)
Enumeration values
Enumeration labels
Validator class
Mandatory (without "condition")
Unique (without "condition")
Multivalue
Read-only

WDYT?
Can I create a JIRA ticket for this?

Best regards.
Jan

Hi Jan,
see my replies embedded below.

As you can read from [1], "Mandatory condition" does not represent a 
simple boolean value but

"true for mandatory attribute;
false for not mandatory attribute;
a condition on other attributes for a conditional mandatory (for 
example, a condition gender can be: gender=='male')."

However, I have just noticed that it is missing the JEXL tip introduced 
by SYNCOPE-210: reopened for this.

Again from [1]:

"conversion patter to serialize Long, Double and Date object into strings."

+1 (but don't forget to update the Italian messages as well... ;-))
