Feature Request: Quick Copy for Parameter DC

Beta
#1

Howdy @charlie!

A problem I run into regularly on sites I’ve created a while ago is not remembering the structure of the JSON I used when setting up parameters, making it difficult to quickly write the {{dc:xxx}}.

So, I typically have to go back into the Parameters settings to look at the JSON to remind myself how to structure the {{dc:g:link.resume}}.

{
    "link": {
    "label": "Link Slugs",
    "type": "group",
    "params": {
      "calendar": {
        "type": "text"
      },
      "contact": {
        "type": "text"
      },
      "resume": {
        "type": "text"
      }
    }
  },

I had started putting it in the "description" so I could hover and get a reminder. But that requires a lot of setup at the start.

So, it got me thinking… it would be super convenient to have a way to quickly copy the DC code for a particular parameter right from the parameter list. Perhaps by simply allowing right clicks on parameters and giving a “Copy Dynamic Content” option in the list? (Or something equally easy / unobtrusive)

Quick mockup of what I mean:

Would obviously be great if it gave the TWIG version when that was enabled (and supported).

Thanks for considering!

This would be great. Since we already have the Dynamic Content UI for parameters, I would really like to get a select box of all available parameters to use. Much like the looper fields change. I like the context menu solution too, especially since the “Manage” option would let you edit the parameters quickly. Have a great weekend.

Perhaps I’ve missed it, but global parameters don’t show up in that UI right? Perhaps that could be a quicker solution.
