1. We can keep default label 'GID' by removing 'label' from spec, which 
is also used on details page. No need to add a new string.

2. It is hard to pick a group from a list because the only thing 
administrator see are GID numbers, e.g.,:
   * 330800000
   * 330800002

It would be good to show a group name there or group name + GID
   * admins
   * editors

Reasoning:
a) If admin wants to set arbitrary GID number not manage in IPA, he 
already knows it and can enter it directly.
b) If he want's to set a specific group then he will search for it by name.

Such change will require a change in combobox widget so that we can 
specify a label field and a value field. E.g. list will operate with  e.g.:
[
    { label: 'admins', value: 330800000 },
    { label: 'editors', value: 330800000 }
]

and not [ 330800000, 330800000 ]

I tried if it is possible to do easily and yes. See attached wippatch. 
Would be good to check if it breaks anything. If not then we can merge 
it into your patch.
