Vocabularies

A vocabulary is a controlled list of values used to populate select, multi_select and combo_select fields.

Open Vocabularies from the sidebar navigation (not from Config).

Structure

Each vocabulary belongs to a named list. The list name is what you set in the Vocabulary property of a field in Config → Fields.

Example: a field periodo of type select with vocabulary periodi will show the values from the periodi list.

Adding values

  1. Select the vocabulary list from the left panel (or create a new one with Add list).
  2. Click Add value and type the new entry.
  3. The value is immediately available in the field dropdown.

Editing and deleting values

Click any value to edit its text inline. Use the delete icon to remove it.

WARNING

Deleting a vocabulary value does not update existing records that already use it. Records will retain the old value; they will just not have it available in the dropdown for future edits.

Reordering values

Drag rows to change the display order in dropdowns.

combo_select fields

A combo_select field shows vocabulary values as autocomplete suggestions but also allows free-text input. This is useful when you want guidance without strict enforcement.
