Integrate the editors also in the creating dialog

[jonnitto]

At the moment, not all available editors (e.g. DateTime) are available in the creationDialog. In order to make advanced use of https://github.com/Flowpack/Flowpack.NodeTemplates/, it is important to have all of them in the dialog.

In the properties definition, you need to set the editor inside of the inspector, in the creationDialog not. The editors are available. The editorOptions aren't working, but this is another issue…

Hmm actually I'm sure some advanced editors like Image editor won't work, so re-opening.

[dimaip]

Or does image editor work for you?

[jonnitto]

Yes, you are right. The image editor doesn't work correctly.

I can confirm, that the ImageEditor won't work from the creationDialog: The MediaBrowser won't be shown – this is probably a challenge to achieve UX wise..

I stumbled across this problem today while using the mentioned Flowpack.NodeTemplates. In my case the ImageEditor and the AssetEditor both cannot open the MediaBrowser. This would be a much needed Feature to greatly improve the backend user experience.

Since we're planning to integrate the "creation dialog properties" feature into Neos 5.1 (see https://discuss.neos.io/t/rfc-allow-node-properties-to-appear-in-the-creation-dialog/3687) this issue will get more relevance. Maybe we can come up with an intermediate solution like a custom editor with limited browsing functionality?

FYI: Currently those are the core editors that don't (completely) work in Creation Dialogs due to the secondary view:

• Neos.Neos/Inspector/Editors/ImageEditor
• Neos.Neos/Inspector/Editors/AssetEditor
• Neos.Neos/Inspector/Editors/RichTextEditor
• Neos.Neos/Inspector/Editors/CodeEditor

We briefly discussed this in our weekly team meeting yesterday. One (probably simpler but not so UX-y way) might be to open the original modal on top of the Creation Dialog modal.
Alternatively we could maybe expand the secondary view like we currently do with DateTime properties:

I have no clue how much work that would be.. For now I'll disable those editors for neos/neos-development-collection#2173

This is also an interesting topic for the new media ui.
Maybe embedding the secondary inspector is the best option.
I anyway wanted to make the media selector fully responsive.

With #2870 merged this can be closed, right?
