----------------------------------------

Hi [~uxdlc] a {{ContextEntry}} is represented by a single row and so we need the name and data-type to be in the single cell - even if visually split across two lines of text. I guess the crux of my question is should we have a single editor for the single cell that supports changing the name and/or data-type (currently supported by the codebase) or whether we want to support different editors for different parts of the same cell (e.g. one editor for name and another for data-type; accessed by double clicking the applicable component of the cell).

The code-base currently only supports one editor for one cell for *one* parameter (which is the two header rows example in the document I originally attached); one editor for one cell for *both* parameters would be possible with a bit of change to the code-base whereas a different editor for different parts of a single cell is quite a lot of change. Therefore before I do much else I need to know what we need.. it'll impact what I do next and how long it takes.

As for your question about the drop-down used for selection of data-types; it's the same as used in the Properties Panel at the moment (and is https://silviomoreto.github.io/bootstrap-select/examples/#live-search). It is the same as we've been proposing from the beginning. If it is not what we should be using please create a JIRA and we'll change it to be as needed.
