{
  "values": [
    "gut",

    "restaurierungsbedürftig",
    "nicht transportfähig",
    "in Restaurierung"
  ],
  "dynamic_options": false
}
Text field Zustand (Kurzform) in Moliri with the value stabil, leichte Gebrauchsspuren and, below it, the open list of the five fixed suggestions from gut to stabil, leichte Gebrauchsspuren
The field “Zustand (Kurzform)” (condition, short form) with five fixed suggestions. The list appears in alphabetical order, not in the order of the configuration.

With dynamic_options: true the values this field already holds on other objects would be added.

Without any configuration it is a plain text field without suggestions.

dynamic_options helps against spelling variants in fields whose set of values should stay open. If the set is limited and you want to group or filter by the value, the select list is the better field type: there the values are binding, here they are only offered.

Formatting

The field type comes with no formatting. You can add an output formatter of your own to the field, see Formatting .
