[Geoserver-devel] Adding a "save and add layer" to the store panel?

GeoServer GeoServer Developer

Hi,
did it ever occur to you that you went to re-enable or reconfigure a
store, and then you
wanted to add a layer out of it?
If you are configuring the store anew you are sent directly to the
"add new layer" page,
but not if you edit an existing one.

What about adding a "Save and add layer" button to the edit page?
Anyone with a better wording?

Cheers
Andrea

For what it’s worth, I definitely prefer “Save and add layer” to “Next”—it’s way more descriptive.
