annoyance - field typing

I love that AppGini handles things like setting up email fields as mail links, and photo files and image uploads, and so forth.

However, I wish it gave some visual reminder that the selected field name has a special handling. Sometimes you want the field to be just a normal field - which I realize you can change the options to get that - but it's easy to just name a field email and forget how AG is going to do some auto-setup.

I just wish there were some reminder in the field options area that "This field name is auto-configured by AppGini" or even just an icon.

Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback ... I've added your suggestion to our to-do list for future releases.

I have the opposite issue. I love the email icon and mailto link, but it does not work with a look up field. If I select an email field from a parent table that has the icon setup it does not carry over to the child. As the child is defaults to integer it can't be changed so the raw emails are shown without the mailto link. Or is there a way?

It would be nice to be able to have any email the same as Members' emails from within the Admin area
