I’ve been using JOSM to contribute to OHM (OpenHistoricalMap). There are a few places in the UI where it would be incredibly helpful to include the start_date and end_date tags. For example, the four “Putumayo Commissariat” relations here are primarily distinguished by start_date/end_date:
The OHM Wiki calls for member relations in a chronology to be sorted by start_date. But that’s tedious to do when you can’t see the start_date / end_date in the relation editor.
The osm-primitives.showid setting gives me some hope that it’s possible, at least in principle, to customize the default name that JOSM displays for a relation. Is there any way to customize this to include start_date/end_date? Barring that, are there any plugins that could do this? Or, barring that, is this a feature that a plugin could provide?
Awesome, I know many other mappers would find this helpful! Any chance you could share the preset file you put together so we could include it in OHM’s JOSM setup guide?
The name_template grammar has an obvious oversight that I want to fix for my implementation and maybe somebody here has a brilliant idea: Support display_values in JOSM name templates · GitHub (without my current fav solution).
