Help with construction tagging

[daganzdaanda]

Construction tagging is not difficult, but could be made more efficient with a preset or plugin.

I'm thinking of a button that switches tags of selected ways to construction and back:
1) highway=tertiary becomes highway=construction and construction=tertiary.
2) highway=construction and construction=tertiary gets combined into highway=tertiary.
3) a way without tags opens a dialog with possible values

Can a preset do that? Maybe it needs to be a plugin.

The construction-switch should also work on railways, and might work on buildings too.
If there was a dialog, more tags could be offered: start_date, opening_date, check_date
If ​http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/temporary gets approved, temporary tags might be helpful, too.

It probably should be plugin, not something added directly to JOSM.

Too specific, it would be too much effort for very little gain, even for a plugin.

In 7926/josm:

see #10414 - add preset for construction=*; extend wrong highway tags on node validator test

I added a combo box for construction in the road construction preset. This does not really fix this ticket, but helps a bit.

And we get a values_context!:) Thanks.

Maybe you could do this same feature for building and landuse?

Replying to aceman:

And we get a values_context!

Yes, there were some conflicts for e.g. "residential" or "track"
