Bug/Feature: No way to create a list of strings in the post's properties.

[ubunibme]

I feel this is a bug: Looks like there is *no* way to create a drop-down list in the user properties in the 'PostProcess' window. For instance, code such as:

properties = {
   ... ,
   config : ["Config-A","Config-B","Config-C"],
   ...
};

Should create a drop down list with:

Config-A

Config-B

Config-C

and set properties.config to whatever the user chooses.  Without this, the user needs to type in a specific sting, which is asking for problems, or type in a number, or set multiple booleans, which is asking for more problems.

I would put this in the 'ideas' section .. but since it effects the narrow slice of post writers would probably  get lost in the noise.

This is not supported at the moment but definitely on the wish list.

Was this feature added??

This would be very useful for me and my team!

Not sure if you figured this out or not but you can add it to the post now using the following:

propertyDefinitions = {

...

theMatrixhasYou: {
title: "Welcome Neo",
description: "Will you choose the blue pill or the red pill?",
type: "enum",
values: [
{title: "Blue", id: "blue"},
{title: "Red", id: "red"},
{title: "Waffle", id: "noDecision"}
],
value: "red",
scope: "post"}

...

}
