1396847 - [Form Autofill] Allow saved addresses to be named to ease selection

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Form Autofill, enhancement, P3)

Description

[B.J. Herbison]

User story:

As a user who has filled in lots of forms, I have many Saved Addresses in my autocomplete list. I would like to have an easier time to select an appropriate list of form values to use when complete.

Proposal:

Add an additional editable field "saved address identifier" to Saved Addresses. When a list of potential addresses for auto-complete is displayed identify the address primarily by the "saved address identifier" if present. In addition, place those addresses at the top of the list.

This would:
* Make it easy to find the form fields the user wants.
* Distinguish useful addresses from random saved values from strange forms or from infrequently used addresses.

I don't think most users would find or use such a feature so I don't think we would implement this specific suggestion. I think we should make our suggestions clear enough to be able to distinguish them without this being needed.

Something is needed to control the addresses. I deleted a bunch of bogus saved addresses a while ago and I currently have 23 saved addresses (not counting the addresses I created for testing form autofill).

New addresses seem to be added to the top of the list so I never know which displayed address has a full set of useful information.

I'm not sure how the suggestions can be made clear enough--there isn't enough screen width to show all the fields (and that would be annoying to use if all the fields were shown).
