--- Comment #1 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
The benefit of this proposal is clear. Drawback is the nested dialog- always an
ugly solution. In particular you cannot quickly switch from one to another
table or database. Acceptable, in my opinion.

We need a static label, the button, and could, if space is left, make the
database field dropdown a list (big advantage to collect the several fields).

Database: <Foo> 
   Table: <Bar>
[Select Address List]
  Fields: [AAAA]
          [BBBB]

(Ideally, the right list aligns with the left list. Meaning Database & Table go
somewhere else.)

We could improve the dialog with common dual list interactions but loose the
ability to configure directly (eg. insert comma, breaks etc.)

Fully agree.
