Bases: Support for defining lists of values

Use case or problem

It would be great to be able to configure a list of possible values for each column, similar to what fileClass enables with the Metadata Menu plugin.

When clicking on a cell within a Base in a column for which a list of possible values has been defined, all the possible values should be proposed by the autocomplete.
The list of values could either be defined in the base syntax itself, or point to a note in the vault containing the possible values (again, similar to the Metadata Menu plugin).

This would enhance the ability to increase metadata consistency/quality.

Proposed solution

Add a syntax to list possible values for column definitions in Bases.

Current workaround (optional)

Use the Metadata Menu plugin to define fileClass(es) that list fields and their possible values.

This has less to do with bases and more to do with properties.

Agreed! That feature request + support in the Bases UI would be epic!

+1 to adding list definitions
