Of course it can; but it would be nice to have a standard, preventing the wheel getting re-invented 100s of times.

I doubt this! These are *optional* property keys. Other products which override the propertyManager themselves are not affected.

The suggested features can easily be implemented in 3.party-Products. Introdrucing a new "description"-property for all SimpleItems will probably break existing products / installations...

Suggestion: Issue should be closed.

It would be nice if manage_changePropertiesForm would support the two additional (and, of course, optional) keys 'title' and 'descr':

* title would be displayed instead of the (sometimes ugly) property name

* descr (description) could be used as a title for the whole table row which would be displayed as a tooltip

I implemented this in a derived product and it works just fine...
