Roadmap to Happiness - What is missing in the core framework

Setup, Configuration and Use Runtime

Here are two more things that have been rolling around in my head, but I do not believe there are associated ESH issues for them (yet)…

  1. For the Basic and Clasic UIs, it would be really nice to be able to use Item StateOptions, without having to link the Item to a Channel with a DynamicStateDescriptionProvider. A simple use case is to select from a list of radio stations… but to really be useful, you’d need the ability to update the list programmatically.

  2. A user interface for viewing and editing Item metadata. I’m close to sitting down to build one, since I am using Item metadata in my JSR223 rules and would like an easy way to modify it. The REST API lets you add/remove metadata, but does not allow for reading it. The use of Item metadata has so many useful possibilities! I expect the lack of the ability to create/edit it in a UI is simply due to how new it is.
