mass-create new concepts

@AngusLeBoeuf suggested that it would be helpful to have the possibility to create multiple concepts at once. Currently the user has to click on create new top-concept or Rightclick>add new concept for each individual concept. Instead, it would be better to extend the Add new concept popup so that the user can enter multiple concepts.

i have a hard time imagining how this would look like.

if we really need such a feature I would rather expect something like the Save button to offer a dropdown like:

  • ... and create another <context_type>
  • ... and duplicate this <context_type> (if many pieces of the same stuff are entered sharing many attributes, e.g. ceramics from a survey area)

we should discuss this in the next meeting.

in pool party it is solved by a dialog and a box. if you activate the box, the "add new concept" will automatically appear when finishing the last concept. duplication would not make sense since the attributes are only the names which have to vary e
very time

Could you provide one (or more) screenshots of the workflow in poolparty?

I think duplication makes sense if similar concepts are added. You click duplicate, change the attributes that differ (at least the name) and that's it.

My proposal above allows both to create a new empty concept at the same level and duplicate when editing of a concept is finished.
