Feature request: populate "string" multiple choice setting from data column in template.yml #68

Hi!

I'm working on a custom template where I have a bunch of identifiers coming from my data and I want to be able to choose one from a multiple choice "string" settings object. However, it seems the way choices is populated is in a static fashion via template.yml.

How would one use a column from the dataset to populate that setting?

I think I've solved this for myself — anything coming from data needs to be handled in the template code and not settings. Changing this to a feature request.
