== Unify Create Items ==

=== Comparison of current approach ===
Url to create a new Item in extent:

* <nowiki>http://localhost:5000/ItemAction/Extent.CreateItem?workspace=Data&extent=dm%3A%2F%2F%2Fissues&metaclass=dm%3A%2F%2F%2F_internal%2Ftypes%2Finternal%23IssueMeister.Issue</nowiki>
** Action Type: Extent.CreateItem
** Parameters:
*** Workspace
*** Extent
*** metaClass of Item to be created

Url to create a new item in a package:

* <nowiki>http://localhost:5000/ItemAction/Extent.CreateItemInProperty?workspace=Data&itemUrl=dm%3A%2F%2F%2Fissues%23b455e372-ad27-46c0-bd40-3b4419f9dc3a&metaclass=dm%3A%2F%2F%2F_internal%2Ftypes%2Finternal%23IssueMeister.Issue&metaclassworkspace=Types&property=packagedElement</nowiki>
** Action Type: Extent.CreateItemInProperty
** Parameters:
*** workspace
*** itemUrl
*** metaClass of item to be created
*** property

=== '''Idea''' ===

* We create one method, which manages both approaches. This reduces the number of potential issues caused by different implementations on both sides
* ActionType: Extent.CreateNewItem
* Parameters:
** Workspace
** itemUrl - Can be the exact Url or just the extent itself
** Property: In case an item is created at an item, it will be created below that item
** metaclass: As of today

There will be one action handler being able to manage the procedure

=== Implementation ===
[] Create the new Action and perform registration

[] Redirect 'Create New Item' of Extent Generation to that new action

[] Redirect 'Create New Item' of Packages to that new action

[] Show the form of the selected metaClass

[] Update the Server Logic to manage the new Action Type

[] Test the creation of a new item from Extent

[] Test the creation of a new item from Package Child
