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?
