I am thinking it would be useful to be able to show an item in the context of a number of the items I created/edited immediately before the current item. As well as many other possible contexts that could be defined in different grids.
The Shown In Grids links in the Properties Pane provides a convenient way to show an item in different useful contexts.
For example, say I would like to display an item in a grid displaying the items created/edited within n hours before or after that item, and sorted by the time of creation/editing.
However, I run into this problem:
"the "Shown in" section shows the names of Grids where the selected item is currently (not potentially) displayed."
So, if I have a grid showing items in order of creation date, that grid would not be shown in the "Shown In" section if the current item does not meet the filter being currently applied to that grid.
To do what I want to do, I'd have to go to that grid and change the filter of that grid, before it would be available in the "Shown In" section of the grid showing the item I'm interested in. That's doable but not very convenient.
It would be great if I could show an item in the context of any defined grid, with an option to adjust the filter of the destination grid, on the fly, so that the item appears in it.
For example, once a defined grid is chosen, IQ could check to see if the current item meets the filter conditions of that grid. If it does not, IQ could inform the user what filter condition is not met, and enable the user to change it on the fly.
