Description

For composer legend items, it would be good if there was an "add layer" button on the "Item" tab under "Legend items".

This would allow the user to choose from a list of all the layers that aren't currently in the legend, to add back a layer that had been removed from the legend. (To add a layer currently you need to click the "All" button, which loses any other customisations, e.g. layer reordering and renaming)

This enhancement would minimise the need for , and if it was implemented then I think reverting should be considered (or maybe there could be an option to control the automatic adding - perhaps a composer item option?). I can't speak for others, but I normally lock the layers in my composer maps, so it is annoying that a new layer added to the project is automatically added into existing composer legends :)
