I have a suggestion for the next iteration of zope: in the properties view, zope has three columns: a check box, the property ID and the property VALUE. How about a third... the property TYPE. ... it would be very useful as I can't tell you how many hours I have wasted debugging code only to realize I had accidently set a property to STRING instead of INT....
I'll add my voice to this request; just today my codeveloper requested exactly the same thing. I told him I'd ask on the list. :) He also had the idea of adding a dropdown box with all types behind each property, so you could convert the type using that (if that is possible to do), but just displaying the type would help a lot in debugging.
