DashboardSectionEditorPanel loads the whole page tree by default: Doesn't scale about silverstripe-dashboard

Yeah, good catch. I'm all for using TreeDropdownField if I can hide the pages that have no children. Does the API support that? I'll take a look.

Good fix for the short term. I'll merge it.

I'm playing around with TreeDropdownField and setFilterFunction() to keep the tree limited to only those nodes with children. The biggest issue is that there seems to be a problem with TDFs being instantiated when hidden. This could be related to the old bug we used to see with Chosen dropdown fields not laying out properly when on a hidden tab in the CMS edit form. Basically, the layout just blows up when you flip over the panel. If I remove:

.dashboard-panel .dashboard-panel-configure {
    display: none;
}

It displays fine, so it appears to be an issue with the plugin.
