(I am afraid I don't know what list to mail this to, so I would appreciate any redirection and "In the future..." comments) 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.... Thanks! Sachin

While we are at it, how about a select all/unselect all box at the bottom of each column in the security pages. --sam

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.

Hi! What about copying/pasting properties? It is hard to copy/paste even 3 properties from one folder to another. On Mon, 22 Nov 1999, Martijn Faassen wrote:

See http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/ChangePropertyTypes It doesn't copy/paste properties... yet <wink> Cheers, Evan @ 4-am
