In the principals screen there seems to be a fixed set of fields that can be displayed. In the Directory configuration view you can set for example the User configuration, but there also it seems to be a fixed set of field. In my case this is somewhat of an issue as sAMAaccountName is a cryptic login ID, and name contains the more common full name I would like to show.
Can you guys make a solution where I can select the columns that are going to show up in the Principals' view in sort of a grid with checkbox like paradigm, and then allow me to fill in the AD attributes I want Crowd to retrieve for those fields? Also add a check function here to make sure that no erroneous AD attribute can be selected!
This input would then drive the display of principal information (in columns) (hopefully in some kind of Ajax grid like nitobi?) in the Principals view screen.
This allows me to configure the data and the display more dynamically without Atlassian having to choose the most common denominator and having to keep adding more code to accommodate all our whim's out here.
As you can imagine, I'd also like the same for the Roles and the Groups 
Let me know if I need to make some example screens of what I mean with the various above paradigms.
"and name contains the more common full name I would like to show. " should read "and name contains the more common full name I would also like to show at the same time beind the cryptic name."
Could not edit Improvement request so provided update this way.
