Description Roman Mostyka 2008-12-10 18:00:56 UTC
Advanced cell editor for data, which can be chosen only from certain number of variants. We can invoke drop down list to
simplify variants choosing. Like we do now with large text.

I am not sure I understand what we should populate in the drop down. If the number Integer, you want the tool to provide
a drop down from Integer.Min to Integer.Max? I guess its much easier to type a number.

We should only do this only if the variants that you are talking will make it easier for user to enter a number value,
please provide any pointer if available. 
Comment 2 Roman Mostyka 2008-12-11 09:23:49 UTC
No, not for standard types.
I saw this in the our competitor tool. You can see what I mean on a screenshot.

Comment 4 _ ahimanikya 2008-12-11 10:00:05 UTC
OK. This looks like for for reference columns generated from the FK, I guess.

Thanks for looking into all the possible enhancement.
