Hi @Christian-Me,

I had a similar thing in my head for similar reasons. Had found some third-party [libraries](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/editor-based-on-xsd/33965/9), but then Nick suggested (in that same discussion) that this kind of stuff would have to be part of the Node-RED json editor. I.e. simply pass a json schema to that editor, and one second later you have a nice UI.

Since he was absolutely right I immediately started coding. After a few weeks I had already quite a major part of the specification implemented, but it became quite difficult at the last bits. Due to lack of free time I had to quit at the end. This project was just to big to accomplish in little time...

Bart
