Item13606: suggestion for improving task creation on foswiki.org

When one is not used to open tasks (and does not work often with forms), it is easy to miss the form tab. If one misses it, one might try to enter a short description in the title field. Then save that topic. Which does not work and will bring up an error.

Maybee the user experience gets improved, if you could make clear, that the title line should not be changed and that the form has to be filled. Before saving. Or maybee have the save-button not work, when the form is not filled.

I totally agree. While the app implements a custom view tempalte in ItemViewTemplate it does not implement an edit template. However doing so is a bit of a PITA without the use of FlexFormPlugin.

Here's a first improvement in ItemTemplateEditTemplate. I am afraid that we don't get much further without FlexForm, i.e. splitting up this confusing "Form" into multiple tabs.
