One of the most common and frustrating issues with Umbraco is when any given picker's property value gets corrupt. It "looks" as if there's nothing picked, but because the the picked value is corrupt it persists regardless. The tell-tale sign is when the Umbraco backoffice throws an exception.
So my feature request is this for the Backoffice (presumably for v8):
When the user logged into the the Umbraco backoffice is an admin...
For every "picker" data type (something other than RTE, textstring, et al.) render some sort of UI element that will trigger a "Clear" of that property's data.
The UI could be something as simple as a button "x" next to the picker.
When the "x" is clicked, the user is prompted to confirm clearing of the picked property.
Additionally, render an "i" UI element to function as an "Inspect" data operation. This would simply launch a popup with the raw data currently stored
Possibly combine these into a single contextual menu, e.g., "Edit" with the sub-menu items being "Inspect Data" and "Clear Selection"
Finally, it would be lovely if this was simply built into Umbraco, with configuration to enable this feature. No package to install - just the way it works.
