Feature request for NPM ( custom properties)

Question

Hi

I would like to request that NPM custom properties under editing Node details become a drop down list of the current configured data or at least you can select which custom properties you want to be a drop down list. So the drop down list just sorts the data by alpha and does a unique on the list , so there are no duplicates.

I say this as adding custom properties like address, devicefunction, devicetype, location as so on will be fields that when adding nodes you will always populate if you use this logic.

This would allow people who add nodes and use this feature to be able to easily populate this fields without having to type it in.

Thanks

James

This is long overdue!  Here it is almost a year after the first post and no reply, so apparently nobody is watching for duplicates and combining similar threads.  And the customer has a hard time finding the current one.  This feature may be on the future development list, but we needed it a year ago.  When the Custom Property is a selection list there's no way to choose from the list, so the user may be creating entries that are duplicates of existing entries.  When can we expect this to happen?
