Just Another Thought
An extension to the alias field could be to allow more than one field value
I am thinking along the lines of the ability to do this that is already available in the core...
<%user_first%> <%user_last%> (<%user_email%>) => john doe (
johndoe@somewhere.com)
For example an address book when two fields are used for the persons name [name] and [surname] the alias would then become john-doe
- you could then drag the two fields to the alias the alias would obviously become the persons full name
- if you wanted more fields you would pass the first alias to a second alias
- or even better allow more than one field to be dragged to the alias field and the order in which they are displayed is how they will be joined
A Further Addition - Create String function
the same as the alias field but allows you to combine fields to create a string of text an space character inserted between fields
- this would be useful when communicating specific information (message) to a user
