These three are all related in that they reduce the potential for errors. \r\n\r\n1) Create slug automatically from title. Right now the affordance for a slug is to show an example, but the example is misleading because it looks like the title is in, and at first glance you don't notice it's not even the right date. This is a bigger deal for posts where a user then needs to remember the date format, but would be useful all around, as I've observed a lot of non-technical users and creating valid file names is a real problem for them (the most popular mistake is forgetting to add the extension, go figure).\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n2) Allow for default fields. A site owner should be allowed to set up fields in the config file, or elsewhere, which creates consistency and ease of use for content creators:\r\nHere are examples for how others handle this: [Prose.io:](https://github.com/prose/prose/wiki/Prose-Configuration#metadata-configuration),  [Cloudcannon](https://docs.cloudcannon.com/editing/collection-defaults/), [Siteleaf](http://learn.siteleaf.com/content/defaults/).\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n3) Allow a field to automatically reference an item from another collection. If you have collection A and collection B, then one should be able to create a field in collection A that allows a user to reference an item or items in collection a via a drop-down list. This helps maintain the integrity of data. For instance, One editor inputs `author: tom jones` but another inputs `author: thom jones`\r\n\r\nHere are examples for how others handle this:  [Cloudcannon (_scroll to select_)](https://docs.cloudcannon.com/editing/front-matter/), [Siteleaf](http://learn.siteleaf.com/content/metadata/#collection-fields).\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jekyll/jekyll-admin/issues/comments/241483000","html_url":"https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-admin/issues/140#issuecomment-241483000","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jekyll/jekyll-admin/issues/140","id":241483000,"user":{"login":"benbalter","id":282759,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/282759?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter","html_url":"https://github.com/benbalter","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benbalter/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":true},"created_at":"2016-08-22T17:14:53Z","updated_at":"2016-08-22T17:14:53Z","body":"@parkr would say that that violates Jekyll's [no magic philosophy](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll#philosophy) because it's an instance of Jekyll trying to be too clever since the user didn't explicitly ask us to do that."}}
