Select collections as the fixed set multi select
planned
B
B M
Add the option to open a list of collections and use that as the multi-select options instead of having to input all multi-select options and then calculate. E.g a collection of tags for status can be easily used across many content types and more easily input than if you need to add everything manually.

I recently began using Capacities Pro, and I quickly realized that I always need to connect a select to another object when setting up my items. I would prefer an option that allows me to use a select without requiring a connection, so I can simply provide a list of static values. I don't need most object-specific values to be globally available across my space. However, if that option isn't feasible, having the ability to connect a select or multi-select to a single collection is essential.
Obviously, adding a new item to the select should add it to that collection only.

Literally a necessary thing for my work. I'm tired of selecting a fixed set of tags from the same collection in a new parameter each time. It seems to me that if the additional nesting of the collection/subcollection does not correspond to the values of this amazing program, then limiting the selection based on existing collections would greatly simplify the work and would contribute to a more organic scaling.

And I definitely don't want to create a separate type of objects in order to make a quick automatic parameter with a selection. This will increase the already cumbersome system even more.
In addition, the use of this function will help to use it in other objects. For example:
Object Type --- Places, Collections --- Countries, Cities, Locations, Institutions

just to add on: probably a way to
auto-translate any existing 'fixed set' of tags into a tag-collection
would help.either as approach to the fundamental issue;
or at least to 'save' all the prior work and structure put in 'fixed sets' already set up…

Assign Collection to Link Type when editing object settings

Currently when one creates edits the object settings, they can add properties and assign those properties to another object type. I think it would be great if one could also assign to a collection within a given object type. Here's an example. I have several collections within my Tags objects. I want to be able to create a property within another object that's only connected to specific tags contained within a collection.

I really need this. I have a Tags collection that is used across several object types for multi-select, fixed-set properties. I currently have to manually add new options to each type's property set to see the new tag as an option.

New to Capacities, set up my first multi-select fixed set, and definitely would appreciate being able to define a collection as the source of that fixed set. And "status" tag types are my exact immediate need. Glad to see this is planned, hope it's soon!

This seems like the only use for collections right now for me and I can't use them for this yet :D

I would also really appreciate the option to make fixed sets populateable from queries, to give more flexibility/automation than just collections. (Since queries are kinda like high-level programmatic collections.)
