Request: As a user I shall be able to define the customized attributes also as picking list, enumerations etc. as attribute type.

Request 2:
Current situation: It is difficult to see the customized attributes, especially when you set the custom attribute to change sets. You need to go inside the change set, click on the file in the change set. And in the document in the tab "Custom Attributes" you can see the custom attribute and its value. With time the list of change sets will be very, very long. It is not possible to go inside every change set and search for the right version of document and check for the attribute.
Request: Add a column on the History Tab and view the custom attributes for every change set.

Request 3:
Current situation: As a user, I need to type the whole name of the custom attribute. There is no picking field. It is hard to remember the right spelling of the custom attribute. The same is also for the value. If you have added the custom attribute, you also need to know the right value for the custom attribute with the right spelling.
Request: As a user, I want to have a list of pre-defined custom attribute names and a list of pre-defined values for a custom attribute. This shall be shown as a propsal, when I type the name of the custom attribute in the search function. The same shall be also for the value of the custom attribute.

Request 4:

    The EWM RFE team has reviewed these use cases. Each use case is a valid use case and the team would like to track them separately. Request you to separate out the use cases into individual RFEs. Thank you.
