Support for configurations panel - configurations in applicationMetadata

[nkylstad]

Description

• Support for setting which data type belongs to the selected task
• Support for editing the selected data type

A data type is defined in applicationMetadata, and provides some metadata surrounding the data model. F.ex:

• which task(s) the data model is used in
• settings for app logic
  • about class names for the C# datamodel
  • settings on whether the data element for the data type should be automatically created or not
  • settings for shadow fields
• some validation settings
  • min/max number of data elements of this data type
• expected data format

Example:

Suggest we start first with support for selecting the right data type for the selected task, and then support for editing/configuring the following properties:

• description: A description of the data type
• taskId: Will be set implicitly by selecting a data type for a given task in the process editor.
• appLogic
  • autoCreate: should data element be automatically created? true/false.
  • allowAnonymousOnStateless: Allow anonymous users (not logged in) to access the data element for stateless apps
  • autoDeleteOnProcessEnd: Automatically delete this specific data element on process end. Should probably be disabled if the global autoDeleteOnProcessEnd is set to true.
  • shadowFields: Configuration for shadow fields:
    • prefix: The prefix to use on data model fields to filter out shadow fields
    • saveToDataType: The data type to save filtered data (without shadow fields) to. Optional. If not set, the containing data type will be updated.
• maxCount: maximum number of data elements of this type
• minCount: minimum number of data elements of this type
• enablePdfCreation: A boolean value indicating whether the element should trigger PDF generation.

Dependencies

• Need to wait for Support for configurations panel - basic setup #10874 before this can be started

Closing this as we are not sure this is the way we will do this. Will create a new task if/when the need arises.
