Bug #28910

select_key should be in "Plugin" tab
Added by Sigfried Arnold over 12 years ago.

Description
I'm aware that select_key gets replaced by flexforms more and more - but if you use an extension which still uses select_key, there is no reason for hiding it in the "Behaviour" tab.
#18595 is somewhat related to that.
Also #17568 is related - it's mentioned, that it will be in the 4.2 Core - but not how exactly.

The field "select_key" is a (very old) method to determine what the plug-in does; in other words, its behaviour.
The forms are now organised that tabs contain a group of fields with related functionalities. Also the most frequently used fields (as in used by editors) are easy to find.
As you already mention the select_key field is seldom used and mostly used by site integrators / admins.
Where would you like to 'hide' this field?
I'd position it right below the 'list_type' field - just above the flexform.
Currently, if you add a plugin, you need to switch to the "Plugin" tab, select the plugin, switch to "Behaviour" and change the select_key. If you use a flexform enabled plugin, you don't need to switch to the behaviour tab - it's all right there.
Since the pi_flexform somewhat replaces select_key, it seems to be obvious that both are located on the same spot.
