Hello Iñaki,

yes this is what I meant (although I am using the jspui).

Just keep in mind that the values you are using, might be exposed via 
crosswalks, OAI to others so don't invent your own key values and use it 
with default dublin core fields.
In our use case with DDC it works fine as the DDC is merely the number.

Try to use some standarized controlled terms or use other metadata field 
(maybe out of your administrative schema).

One other thing related to value-pair lists in general. Keep in mind 
changing these will not change the existing metadata of
a) items
b) item templates
If you do change selection lists in the input-forms make sure these 
changes are reflected in your item templates.

Hope that helps

Claudia Jürgen
