This PR adds the fancy select
functionality to Joomla's core ''Access'' fields.
Joomla is suitable for large websites. On such large websites, you can have many User Groups and Viewing Access Levels. When there are many Viewing Access Levels, assigning content to the right Access Level is hard. This PR adds a fancy select feature to the Access field in the back-end forms to make it easier to select the right Access Level.
Add a lot of Viewing Access Levels to the website, e.g. using this SQL query:
INSERT INTO `#__viewlevels` (`id`, `title`, `ordering`, `rules`) VALUES
(7, 'Marketing', 5, '[]'),
(8, 'Legal department', 6, '[]'),
(9, 'Research & Development', 7, '[]'),
(10, 'Finance', 8, '[]'),
(11, 'Sales', 9, '[]'),
(12, 'Customer Service', 10, '[]'),
(13, 'Human Resources', 11, '[]'),
(14, 'IT', 12, '[]'),
(15, 'Maintenance department', 13, '[]'),
(16, 'Quality management', 14, '[]'),
(17, 'Operations management', 15, '[]'),
(18, 'Performance management', 16, '[]'),
(19, 'Account department', 17, '[]'),
(20, 'Purchasing', 18, '[]'),
(21, 'Communications', 19, '[]');
Check the Access
field in the forms when you create a new item or edit an existing one on these pages:
Go to Content > Articles /administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=articles > Edit or New
The Access
field is a large dropdown list with all Viewing Access Levels ordered by ordering.
Go to Content > Articles /administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=articles > Edit or New
The Access
field is a smaller dropdownlist with the advanced searchable options
feature.
Type a part of a name to filter the options.

If it is decided that this PR is a good idea then the same changes need to be made to all other places that the access level field is displayed as a list eg in batch views and list filters
