Select collections as the fixed set multi select
planned
B

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.

Will this plan include the ability to just have a multi-select property like notion where one can create different options locally only for the database being used? This seems like a basic idea. I don't want to have to create global tags or a whole new object just to have basic select options as a property. How soon, because this is a game changer if it's done, right now it make capacities unusuable for me.

I’d like to be able to contextualize which tags are available when tagging certain Objects or Properties.
For instance, maybe I have a Journal Object for which one of the Properties is “Mood”—a single-select for Tags. Rather than seeing all of my Tags, I’d rather be able to restrict the property to only show me my “Moods” Collection

Allow collection to be selected for object link type

When modifying an object property's link type, I'd like to be able to select a collection within that type. The extra steps of making the field a multi-select, selecting tags, and then generating a set seems unnecessary. Even more so for large lists (e.g. coworkers)
In other words, if I have a collection of tags named
Ratings
, I want to specify that the single select field is limited to Tag/Ratings
. Same for People/Coworkers
, etc.Steffen Bleher

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.

I really need this! There are so many categories, and it’s a mess when assigning them to the property.

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

+1 one for this feature

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…
