Hi Mike , me and my partners have been talking about the problem of large sets of metadata when filling forms and the solution you are proposing. We consider it far mor usefull/simple/easy to implement than the one we proposed at "metadata fixed values subsets to avoid long lists" e-mail. Roberto found that past proposal was interesting, Roberto what dou you think about this new one ?
