Make restricted fields only editable by sysop
Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to make the restricted fields in a form only editable by sysops, and not for regular logged on users. Right now it only removes editing for Anonymous users. Thanks Oh, and just curious if there was an ETA of the new semantic forms version?


 * The restricted parameter by default limits to sysop. If regular users are able to edit restricted fields, then they probably have the editrestrictedfields right (can verify in Special:ListGroupRights). Kodene (talk) 22:10, 3 January 2013 (UTC)


 * There's no ETA on version 2.5.2 of SF, by the way, but hopefully in the next month or two. Yaron Koren (talk) 23:23, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Different values for "value" and "label" in tags?
Hi Yaron, is there any way to have a listbox get generated with different values for the "value" and "label" attributes of an tag? For example, in a bug tracking application that automatically generates page titles such as: BUG-0001, BUG-0002, etc. Each page has a "short description" property and a list of "related bugs" which point back to the bug page titles. The select list right now can easily be created to render with the page titles like this:

BUG-0001 BUG-0002 BUG-0003 However to the user seeing "BUG-0001" in the list isn't really helpful - it would be great if we could display the short description in the label as well, but keep the value strictly to the page title, like so:

BUG-0001: NullPointerException when entering foo BUG-0002: OutOfMemoryError when bar BUG-0003: DivideByZeroError when bazz

Is this possible? If not I think this could be a really useful feature, perhaps by making use of a supplied template to generate the label? Arcarlucci (talk) 16:54, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
