(1) The template configuration form should be opened in a new window, so that the user wouldn't accidentally lose the data in the form.

jelisejev CLOSED.

<richlv> i'd like to object to this. we only do popups in a couple places so far (dashboard favourites, value mapping in item properties);
if user wants to open something in a new tab, they can always do that - not opening in a new window/tab is not possible;
we even have had users complain about this.

i'd suggest not to use new window/tab -> REOPENED

jelisejev We've changed the favorite link behavior in ZBXNEXT-2073, they will now be opened in the same tab. And the value mapping link opens in a new tab for the same reason, so that the user wouldn't accidentally loose his form data when reviewing value mappings. I do believe, that links in large complex forms should be opened in new tabs.

<richlv> in that case let's document such an approach somewhere - maybe a new section in https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/specs/coding_style ?
user interface guidelines or so

jelisejev The coding style docs are for code-related issues. I'll create a new UI doc somewhere else.

jelisejev The above mentioned issue was documented here - http://zabbix.org/wiki/UI_elements#Forms
