 Potlatch2 is really a smart tool for editing OSM. I tried iD, but the
 workflow with that is much slower. So I really would appreciate to get
 some small enhancements of Potlatch 2 and go on working with the
 "outdated" software.

 My issue is about managing multipolygon-relations. When you draw a grid of
 ways around different landuse-areas and assign the landuse-tags by
 multipolygons, the "select all members" function helps a lot to check, if
 a multipolygon ring is closed or maybe even has an erroneous split.

 The way [http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/252236982] carries two mp-s: one
 landuse=residential, one landuse=farmland.

 The table shows:

 '''Relation         ID           Role'''

 multipolygon   1955526   outer

 multipolygon   2329226   outer


 When you copy these two mp-s to a new way (like
 [http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/252236984)] and want to keep only the
 "farmland"-mp here, it's not easy to see which one is the right to delete.
 In this example both even end with "26" so it would be nice to get an info
 in the list (iD functions like this...):

 '''Relation                            ID         Role'''

 multipolygon farmland      1955526   outer

 multipolygon residential    2329226   outer

 As a hack I used to enter ref-tags for the multipolygons, e.g.

 '''Relation                            ID         Role'''

 multipolygon Felder         1955526   outer

 multipolygon Eurishofen   2329226   outer

 This helps a lot if you want to pick the right mp at first look. But
 unfortunately I got battled by an OSM-user who deleted all "inappropriate"
 use of the ref tag. Maybe he's even right with this, although I think my
 use of the ref-tag was quite something like a reference.

 So here's my proposal:

 '''Please display the text of the following multipolygon's tags in the
 relations-list, if available.'''
 ''(by this order, name- and ref-tag already implemented)''
 1. name
 2. ref
 3. landuse
 4. natural
 5. note
 6. comment

 Thank you very much.
