Description jlautz 2008-06-25 23:21:14 UTC

This is probably a trivial usability enhancement, but I thought it was annoying as heck.

To add all the input attributes into the select statement, I thought I could just select all the attributes and Dnd them
into the Select table, and the attributes would be added automatically.

Instead, I had to create a new table for each attrbute, then DnD each individual attribute over. 

I would prefer the other way, which is typical in other applications.

Bad editing sentence should say:

Instead, I had to create a new table ROW for each attribute (click the Add Attribute button multiple times), then DnD
each individual attribute over.

This is nice to have enhancement, marking it as enhancement.
Comment 4 Ritesh Adval 2008-08-18 23:47:32 UTC 
This nice to have, will fix later.

This can possibly be done only when the table is empty first time. Not clear what
should be the behaviour when some rows exists in the table (with using functions in expression column)
and user selects all attributes and do DnD. Should we add existing attributes again?

Enhancement requests are usually left open until rejected or implemented.

http://wiki.netbeans.org/IssueLifeCycle#section-IssueLifeCycle-EvaluatingIssues says don't use Resolved Later.
