Under Community Review

This is under community review to solicit more feedback on names and copy and paste behavior.

We're looking for thoughts on the following:

  • Edit before saving? Would the ability to see and perhaps edit the name before the items is saved help in this interaction?
  • No prompt at all? Would it be acceptable if there was no prompt? Where by the system would always paste items and add a unique string ("copy of").

Finally, we would appreciate examples of when you or others might copy and paste items in the CMS. We have a few use cases in mind, but it's even better to get actual examples of the names. For example:

  • From which folders do you typically copy items?
  • What kinds of items do you copy and paste? Example Schemas can help.

Paste with Unique Name Dialog - Remember My Answer

Today when you copy a component and paste it in the same folder, you are prompted with a dialog asking if you want to paste the item with a unique name. It would be nice to have a checkbox that allows you to bypass this dialog in the future and remember your answer so that every time I copy/paste a component I don't get this same prompt, it will just paste it with a unique name automatically.

Current State:

Dialog box warning that the location already contains an item with the same name, prompting for a unique name with Paste and Cancel options.

Suggestion:

Dialog box with a checkbox option to 'Remember my answer' for pasting items with a unique name, alongside Paste and Cancel buttons.
