Description

Update
At event and actor forms places can now be added dynamically, e.g. at person: residence, born in and died in places.

Original request
It would be great if places can be added dynamically in forms, similar to the dynamic type creation (#1690).

Entered information should be basic, I suggest:
  • Name
  • Description
  • Place type (the default standard one)
Affected forms would be:
  • Event forms (e.g. location at activity, from and to at move, ...)
  • Actor forms (e.g. person: residence, born in, died in)

Special care has to be taken because underneath 2 entities are created (object and location) but we can take a look together at it in more detail.

It is now possible to dynamically create not just places but also all other related types of entities inside the table view modal.
Related Tables like in the Actor forms (residence, born in, died in) are updated when a places is created. Therefore it could be possible that with huge datasets this could take some time.
We might need to take a look at this at some point.

I have tested it and it works great. It is already merged in develop (and feature branch removed from online) and will be released with the next version.
About performance, we will look into this only in case problems are reported, a wise man (Donald Knuth) once said "Premature optimization is the root of all evil".

Thanks a lot Andi, great work and a really helpful addition to the user interface.
