Iโ€™d love to see an option that scoops out which items of a list are not in use (anymore) and enables me to delete all these options from the list in one click.

Iโ€™d also like to be able to combine values in the single & multiple select fields. Especially when you have accidentally added a bunch of records and made a typo in the field, which will then have caused a new option to be created. Ideally Iโ€™d open up the Customize field type screen, select two or more values and hit a button โ€˜combineโ€™.

Iโ€™ve been using the collectorz.com programs to catalogue my books & dvds for years and they have this option available, itโ€™s an option that I highly appreciate and would love to see here, too!

I want this too! The solutions I ended up doing so I could have it was was instead of using a Single Select, I just linked to another table.

My setup:

Tasks Table

  • Name
  • Link to Task Type

Task Type Table

  • Name
  • Link to Tasks
  • Count

From the Task Type Table, I can easily tell which โ€œTask Typesโ€ are not being used because of the Count field.
