Feedback for Improved dynamic data picker interface

Hi,

There’s an Improved dynamic data picker interface in the bricks 2.0 roadmap, which is great. I just wanted to throw out anything I can think of to improve it, because it seems like Bricks 2.0 isn’t far off.

Dynamic data picker in elementor and bricks have their advantages and disadvantages. I have worked with both, I want to share my personal experience.

Bricks

positive point: We can use several dynamic data in one element.

negetivetive point: We must know the different forms of a dynamic data in advance and type it. For example: post_date:human_time_diff}

Elementor

positive point: Different forms of dynamic data can be selected visually and there is no need to type them.

negetivetive point: We can only have one dynamic data in each widget.

In my opinion, the most important thing in the new dynamic data picker is to improve the user experience in selecting dynamic data.

It would be great to be able to choose different forms of dynamic data instead of typing them. For example, we have three different types for dynamic post_title data. After selecting this dynamic data, we can visually choose one of these three items. with one click.

{post_title:link}
{post_title:link:3}
{post_title:link:newTab}

As another example, if we can disable the link from {post_terms_category} dynamic data with a switcher button. No need to add :plain.

Thanks

And a way to reach very common dynamic data entries faster.

On an image src field, I add a featured image as dynamic data 99.9% of the time.
