Hi Mike, I find this feature usefull. Although web browsers tend to place already used values to the textboxes while writing.
This solution solves the problems derived from having large lists of metadata, together with the solution proposed on the "metadata fixed values subsets to avoid long lists" e-mail It would make the metadata description more easy. Both solutions require Java Script in the same web page in order to display this features. We could consider contacting a developer in order to do this client side coding (JS) while Mayan developers should do the server side. They also shoud check if the Puerto Rico laws about accesibility allow this features for disabled people usage. Maybe there's a flag on the web browser of the disabled person that can trigger the classic web view that's currently implemented. Hope to hear from you, Lau On Sun, Mar 31, 2013 at 10:15 AM, Mike Hadmack <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > Is there a way to allow a metadata field accept the entry of a new string > value AND present the user with a list of existing values from the > database.
