Description Sönke Schwardt-Krummrich

There is a collision in the UDM property short description between users/user and self-service extended attribute:

udm settings/extended_attribute create "$@" --ignore_exists \
	--position "cn=custom attributes,cn=univention,$ldap_base" \
	--set name="UniventionPasswordSelfServiceEmail" \
	--set CLIName="PasswordRecoveryEmail" \
	--set shortDescription="E-mail address" \
	--set translationShortDescription='"de_DE" "E-Mail-Adresse"' \


"E-mail address" is used by users/user as "mailPrimaryAddress" and by self-service as extended attribute for "PasswordRecoveryEmail". This is no problem on the tabs until the user tries to search users with a specific property filter. The property name drop down shows the entry "E-mail address" twice and noone known, which attribute one has to use.

Suggestion:
Use a more explicit short description for self service, e.g.
"E-mail address for password recovery"
