This is part of a string we expected the user to actually enter as a text into a text field/cell or even in text view in plist format in EO/DBModeler (the application used to manipulate the models). I guess we could also provide an additional interface with a combo box cell but it would be pretty inconsistent with the way other keys of the same connection dictionary are handled. (One NSTextFieldCell of a table view would need to be replaced automagically when a certain key is entered into another cell.) Also current models contain these strings and they would have to be adapted. I think that I'd rather add the mapping to GDL2 if it's not provided by base in the future.
