The problem I see with that is that the PUID should always be of the same type. If we have an selection field, it might lead to errors from the registration officer. The idea behind the PUID is that the type is the same across the health system (local, regional or national), so when records are synchronized / searched / aggregated, ... we look for the same type. But we can think about a wizard at installation time, that could show this selection box and, for example, change the tooltip / description to show the ID type.
