Add message to listitem

[martinvandiemen]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to add a description to the list item.

Describe the solution you'd like
Please description/text/body/message to listitem so that will appear below the title.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently I'm using the progresstext but this is only shown when the item is "active".

Additional context
Here is a mockup.

Nice idea, if it's feasible to do. It would add some additional value in using swiftDialog for onboarding, although even in its current state, it's really good for those workflows. Anyway, I like it.

ATM, I use the main message text area for displaying information about the current install, but this seems like a nice improvement.

something like this?

available in the latest beta https://github.com/swiftDialog/swiftDialog/releases/tag/v2.0.4.4747

usage:
--listitem "Item Title",subtitle="This is a subtitle"

Noice, Bart!

Looks like the commas which work fine in progresstext don't work so well in subtitle.

(I think I prefer that subtitle not intrude on the area used by status, but how do you know how much room I want for status ? [Probably best to add a dedicate field for subtitle and encourage the admin to "keep it brief.")

I think this looks great.

@bartreardon really great. I've tested this but the layout needs a bit more structure. Icon becomes quiet large, alignment looks off, the description is very small and hard to read. Could it maybe be more structured like my mockup? Thanks!

I noticed that a description with a comma in it results that the line breaks. Even when escaping the comma \, will still break the line.

[bartreardon]

If you are specifying the subtitle on the command line then the comma in your text will be interpreted as a separator. If you want more complex text then id recommend using json.

Feel free to submit a PR with how you think it will look. I won't be able to do anything with it until the end of the month anyway
