Enhanced Usability for Reference Tables and Ontologies with Limited Options

[Fernananas]

Issue

For reference tables or ontology fields with a limited number of options (e.g., ≤10), the current workflow requires either opening an option list dropdown or navigating to another table to select the correct option(s). This can be cumbersome for small datasets.

Solution

Introduce a tickbox-based selection interface for reference or ontology fields with fewer than 10 options. This would streamline user interaction by allowing direct selection without additional navigation or dropdown handling.

Alternatives

Radio Buttons
For fields with very few options (e.g., ≤5), render the options as a group of radio buttons directly in the form. This eliminates the need for opening a dropdown while maintaining clarity.

or
"Favorite Options" Feature
Allow users to "favorite" commonly used options. These options appear at the top of the dropdown or selection interface for quicker access.
