As the use of this excellent product expands, I keep running into new "would be nice..." items. Here are latest:

1 - Field Masking: I have several clients asking that field content in the backend could be displayed in a specific way. Applies mostly to text field items. Example: Push alphas to upper/lowercase, display to X decimal places, date display of only a Month name, or add spaces between X number of characters (ie.: N0N 1P0 or 1234 1234 1234 1234).

2 - Sometimes clients want to open a view of a given record without running the possibility of accidentally editing/changing any values. Or they don't want to affect the "Last Modified" date just by looking at the record details.

Might be nice to have a 'VIEW' option alongside the "Modify" link in the list views.

$0.02 worth.

Another ideas...

allow inline editing from the editor list page.

like this (click in the notepad with pencil in the table):
http://livedemo.asprunner.net/phprunner/livedemo1/customers_list.php

Have comment inside a field... like in this form:

http://codecanyon.net/item/beta-splash-page-email-signup-form/full_screen_preview/55646

This can be useful allowing tips inside, like "write phone with country code". When user clic inside the field, the tip disapear and field becomes blank for editing.

I support the Jayme wish list too [:)]
