As Tryton interface is really restricted to the format, a good improvement could be to add to Views section, some visuals, can be in table console format or embeding img, to use as a cheatsheet for common examples views (groups, colspan, cols, contexts) but also with some tricks like: <group colspan="2" col="-1" id="buttons">.
That way a newbie could quickly see the max power we have in the interface and serve also for us as developers to quickly saw all the options to design good interfaces.
As long as such visual can not be generated automatically (by the build process), it will not happen.
I think this can also be accomplished with the new proposal of Scripting Tryton Tutorial Video
Coming back to this.
What about a new long form view on the admin menu with all the combinations?
So it’s a live documentation which forces to us to change it if layout schema changes.
I think for the fields we can use general models from the admin section (icons, users…) but only on read-only or create functional fields so we don’t pollute the database schema.
This would have the benefit to visually check that nothing breaks like the Text widget does not take 100% width (#13320) · Issues · Tryton / Tryton · GitLab
There is a tests module which have normally a model for each type of field.
Maybe we can just make it instalable and maintain a view for each of the fields (can be generated by an script if needed).
I guess its not hard to generate such views in the build process by instrospecting all the models registered by the tests module.
