Is a feature request submitted through the bug tracker?
I'm not sure I like the idea of having a field in the "user interface" page
because I'm
a perfectionist, but that's better than the alternative. Is there an easy way
to find out
what the attribute ID of an attribute is without doing a direct DB query? If
there isn't,
perhaps there should be. It makes no sense to require an attribute ID in a
"user
interface" field, and to not have any way of finding out what those attributes
are.
I'm not saying I won't do the work, btw, even if on my own time, I'm just
asking a question. :)
