"Edit profiling attributes" modal

[Johann]

Hello,

This post is a follow-up to my previous post.

We are using Web Author version 26.1.

We've noticed a difference in the behavior of the "Edit profiling attributes" modal between the Desktop and Web versions.

On the Desktop version, the filter is not case-sensitive, whereas on the Web version it is.
Is this normal? We prefer the fact that it's not case-sensitive.

In addition, when a profiling attribute is inserted, on the Desktop side, labels are displayed in the stylesheet (equivalent to their values in the modal), whereas on the Web side, @keys are displayed. Is it envisaged that the display in Web Author will in future be equivalent to that in Author Desktop?

Finally, this is more of a request, as it is not present in either Author Desktop or Author Web. In the "Edit profiling attributes" modal, when a text filter is applied, only items matching the filter are displayed, which seems normal. However, we'd like to keep the display of ascending and descending items.

For example, I have this structure without the use of filters for editing profiles:

- Chapter A
-- A-1
-- A-2
-- A-3
-Chapter B
-- B-1
-- B-2
-- B-3

If I write “Chapter A” as a filter, I only get:
- Chapter A

whereas I'd like to display:
- Chapter A
-- A-1
-- A-2
-- A-3

Because what I really want to tick are A-1 / A-2 or A-3.

Thank you for your response,

Johann

We have registered an internal issue (WA-7884) for this request and added your input to it.

This aspect is related to the issue concerning the filter in the Edit Profiling Attributes dialog (WA-7884). Once the aforementioned issue is resolved, you will have this functionality as well.

Finally, this is more of a request, as it is not present in either Author Desktop or Author Web. In the "Edit profiling attributes" modal, when a text filter is applied, only items matching the filter are displayed, which seems normal.

In Oxygen XML Editor, the behavior is what you expect in Web Author, both the "Audience" attribute and its values are displayed. In Web Author, the attribute values also appear in search if you search with "a" and not "A" (in the example with 'Audience') - this is because its case-sensitive.
