Open Schema Config and confirm it redirects to the first accessible table.
-
Select a different table than the first accessible (e.g.
CollectionObject)- Refresh the page and verify that it loads to
CollectionObject(or your chosen table) and that it remains visible and selected in the table sidebar.
- Refresh the page and verify that it loads to
-
Verify that you can search for a table's name (e.g.
CollectionObject) -
Verify that you can search for a table's caption (e.g.
Collection Objector any custom name) -
Click on the headers in the fields list and make sure sorting works as expected (Name, Caption, Visible (👁️)). It should be sorted where visible fields appear at the top by default.
- Verify that after sorting, switching tables in the same session remembers the sort. If you refresh the page or exit and come back, it resets to the default behavior.
-
Edit table captions, descriptions, and field strings across multiple tables.
- Make changes to >10 tables and more than >20 fields in those tables
- Make changes to many attributes (hidden, pick lists, web links)
-
Confirm the modified-table badge appears in the sidebar and unload protection activates.
-
Save and confirm all tables persist, the schema cache is flushed, and the page reloads on the current table.
-
Use arrow keys (
↑and↓keys specifically) and type-ahead to navigate the fields list. -
Create a new Table Format, Table Aggregation, and Web Link. Verify that all appear in the list immediately without requiring a refresh (improvement on
v7). -
Verify the 'Export' functionality works directly from the schema editor (button in the top left) matching the behavior in
v7 -
Export the schema to TSV in the DB Model Viewer (from User Tools) and confirm the table-caption column is labeled "Table Caption".
-
Test various screen widths and make sure it appears readable. The tables list will be moved under the main view on narrow screens.
Looks good, I didn't run into any issues. I really like the new look and think it'll make editing the schema config a lot easier!

While the updated type fields are much easier to understand, I wonder if adding an indicator that some fields - such as type - cannot be changed by the user. Additionally, it might also be helpful to add a category in the overall literal fields table to search/organize by input type (ex. Text, Boolean, etc.).
It looks good otherwise.

Fixes #8420
This PR updates the Schema Config editor so that it has a sidebar with all tables on the left + a shared store that lets you make changes to table and field captions, descriptions, hidden flags, and field formatters across tables, navigate between tables from a searchable sidebar, and save all changes at once.
This PR specifically:

You can click on any field, then typecatalognumberfor example, and it should jump you tocatalognumber. If you are in theDeterminationtable, you could typedetermineddateafter selecting a field and it should jump you to that field. If you keep typing and typedetermineddatep, it should jump you todeterminedDatePrecision. After 1 second after the last keypress, the input you typed will be cleared, and you can begin typing another string (in the old version, the input clearning time was based on the browser since it used the browser built-in type-ahead functionality (500ms-1s or so))v7).v7Summary by CodeRabbit
