Umbraco-cms: UI: Improve appearance of property content inheritance in editor view.

[nielslyngsoe]

Lets come up with a better solution for property content inheritance in editor.

Currently when a property inherits its content from another variant, its shown like this:

I would like to change that into something more elegant, ideas are welcome.

[NikRimington]

My initial thought on this is that the "inherited" note should appear beneath the property label. That would immediately improve it's appearance. However, then it could easily be lost with a property description if that was included.

Maybe the text should be in a different colour for differential purposes?

[karltynan]

Rather than just being in the "left" label column, could it span both columns before both items? And a different colour as per Nik's idea might work too?

[miketaylorco]

Might be an idea to associate the inheritance with the field value itself rather than the label? Something like this? Works OK with these specific property editors, but I guess might not work quite so well with more editors with more complex UI though.

I like that @miketaylorco - smaller and less in your face helps too

[miketaylorco]

Maybe even simpler...?

I'm giving this a try, testing out some different things in this draft PR: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/pull/5444

Hiya @nielslyngsoe,

Just wanted to let you know that we noticed that this issue got a bit stale and might not be relevant any more.

We will close this issue for now but we're happy to open it up again if you think it's still relevant (for example: it's a feature request that's not yet implemented, or it's a bug that's not yet been fixed).

To open it this issue up again, you can write @umbrabot still relevant in a new comment as the first line. It would be super helpful for us if on the next line you could let us know why you think it's still relevant.

For example:

@umbrabot still relevant
This bug can still be reproduced in version x.y.z

This will reopen the issue in the next few hours.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot :robot: :slightly_smiling_face:
