Description

hey folks,

another small missing feature is this one:

alias fields in pages or domain records have to be unique in a website. so, our beloved TYPO3 handles this and adds 0 (or 1, resp.) to my new entry, if another element is using this value already.

now i know, THAT another item is holding that value already, but not WHAT item...

example:
domain record: www.domain.org exists on pid 23

now i go and enter www.domain.org as domain record on pid 42
result is: www.domain.org0

but what now? how about a small label showing me "what item" is using the value already? or even a link to that item so i can edit it -- since i'm entering a value i need. would make sense on growing pages.

for now, i'm going there by sql but this is still a technical way; inacceptable for ordinary editors.

how do you think about that?

what other page is using this alias value ;)

Thx for the request - sorry for the late answer.
So your suggestion is to show a "Tooltip" below
the Input field, if an alias exists, right?

Why not. And maybe mark the Text "red" to
indicate an error inside the field.
