I have a problem that i can't seem to find a good solution for:
We have a list of experiences that all need to be categorized from pre-made categories.
These categories consists of a multi language supported text label and a text box with a font awesome icon name.
The categories need to be defined in a list or dropdown or the most fitting editor. A content editor person should then be able to choose from these categories when creating an exhibit.
I can't seem to find a good solution for this. A dropdown can only contain text.
What i need is a dropdown that could contain pre-filled complex data types. Something like a dropdown where you could add element types instead of just writing a text string and then fill data in these element types.
Anyone who has a good idea on how to achieve this?
I would highly recommend looking into the Contentment Package.
It is highly flexible, especially the Data List editor. You can create your own data source and also your own View I believe. This would aid you in creating your own property editor based on Contentment to give the behaviour you are after.

Hi Nik,
That's actually a nice package! Thanks for the info.
I solved my problem with the built in Content Picker which covered all my needs for this task.
