It would be great if we could use existing Data Types as property editors on Order Properties.
Whilst this is kind of possible at the moment, it's tricker than it needs to be because the implementer must:
(A) go digging through the Umbraco code base to find the appropriate
view
to use, and(B) structure the
config
in the way expected by the corresponding editorFor example; one of our clients needs the ability to customize confirmation emails using 'canned messages' depending on the fulfilment requirements. We store the canned messages as content nodes in Umbraco and the most appropriate one is 'picked' from the order edit screen. I did manage to get this working the MNTP, but it was a bit fiddly and I had to basically copy the config from the umbracoDataType table.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if we could just re-use an existing Data Type by supplying it's name or nodeId, something like this:
Describe alternatives you've considered
As mentioned it is possible at the moment, so it's not a massive issue, but it does require a bit of digging and trial & error.
