Description Ruediger Landmann 2013-09-26 03:02:52 UTC
Description of problem:
To add a value for an extended property for a tag, you need to click in a blank white space that only becomes a text entry field when you click on it. Until then, there is no visible marker of where or how you should supply values.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Build 201309081012

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Entities -> Tags
2. Search for a tag ID
3. Click on a tag in the search results
4. Click "Extended Properties"

Actual results:
The cells in the "Extended Property Value" column are actually editable, although there's no way to know this. 

Expected results:
Text entry fields are presented as text entry fields (or at least have a clickable icon there: a pencil seems to be well understood as "edit").

Additional info:

Comment 1 Lee Newson 2014-06-23 04:07:51 UTC
Fixed in 1.8-SNAPSHOT build 2014231357

The fields are now input text boxes when the fields are editable and are div's when the element is disabled.

Comment 2 Lee Newson 2014-06-23 04:34:28 UTC
Note: This version is currently live on the test/development server.

Comment 4 Matthew Casperson 2014-06-26 03:47:57 UTC
Merged this change into the version on the dev server.

Confirmed that extended properties could be added, removed and modified, and that they appear as text boxes in Firefox and Chrome.

Comment 5 Lee Newson 2014-07-02 00:52:02 UTC
Fixed an issue where clicking a disabled field would throw an NPE in 1.8-SNAPSHOT build 201407021041.
