When mapping columns into CCK fields, it is not clear what field types they are, so can lead to inadvertently trying to map data into fields that can't handle that kind of data (e.g. if it's a fixed list of values in a select list). It would be good to show the field type under the name of each field to help users when importing data.

Fixed in CVS. Will be included in -rc5.

The mapping page has for each field a set of tips. For CCK fields this will include the cck fieldname (eg field_text) and cck type (eg text). If the field accepts special formats (such as dates or node references), a tip indicating this will also be included.
