Summary:	Input restriction -> input suggestion
Description:	'Values' and 'values2' restrict user input to a list of values. I'm thinking of non restrictive list of values. For instance, the input text box could be filled either manually or by a javascript using a nearby select box containing 'values'. Field definition would look like: 'values'=>Array(...), 'values_non_restrictive'=>true Does this feature looks interesting to anybody else?

Bug Notes
hbernard    2004-03-07 21:38	As said somewhere on the forum, 1. why not, but be careful with js and compatibility with *most* browsers 2. I mainly use values from another table. (values => Array(table => ...) How will pme handle this case (updating external table) ? Which API ? 3. currently, you may simply put a link in the 'help' column in order to switch the field type from D to T. 4. About how interesting this feature look As said, yes, it could be useful. But my personnal experience say that when user are free to fill whatever they want, this field became a bit messy. And IMHO it's better to stick with simple entry field in this case. But, again, yes, maybe this would be interesting. There is already a patch somewhere on the forum, I think.
