Hi Mike, Many thanks. It won't take long to update the project's preprocessing files, transform, load. They were designed to use attributes for this data because I'm certain there will be no mixed content and contain only a few short word tokens belonging to a controlled vocabulary. I thought it would be fine to use an attribute range index for that purpose, I wasn't aware that a specific value was required until I found I wanted to include the values in a default-suggestion-source. I need more than one index to be the source, so a field is called for. I agree that it would be nice to make use of existing attribute range indexes, but it's probably not worth an RFE in this case--easy workaround, small dataset.
