There is currently no way through the application to add phrase categories #190

There is a sneaky way to force picklists that would normally source their 
values from distinct list of particular field values to get their values from a 
phrase. In order to do this a phrase category needs to be created with the 
following name pattern: <tableName>_<fieldName> (e.g. tblMaterial_vchrIDBy). If 
this phrase category exists, then when the picklist is shown, the phrase 
category values are shown, rather than the distinct list.

Currently there is no way to create the phrase category through the UI (nor the 
legacy BioLink app either). The phrase category can be created by altering the 
database directly. Should an 'add phrase category' button be added to the 
Phrases management interface?
