Access rule Title for quick search

13

In some applications you can have multiple layers of access rules per user role. Especially if the Xpath is long, you cannot immediately see which rule it is. It would be great if they could add a label/attribute in which you can name it so you can quickly see which rule you need.

Hi Roosmarijn, 

It is already possible to define a caption for the xPath constraint when editing an access rule, this will display the caption instead of the constraint in the editor (when hovering over the caption, the full xPath constraint is displayed). See screenshot below:

Hope this helps!

I think this is a great idea.

Having a sort of label you can assign yourself to a line of xpaths to be able to more easily identify between the multiple lines of userroles or combination there off, would help greatly. Especially in larger / complex apps.

Would be great especially if Studio Pro would present a list of recently used labels in other entities of the same module, for consistency and fast re-use.
