I want to show a drop down list in the feature attributes dialog.

Example:

I have 3 different building zones. The hot Wohnzon A, B residential zone and residential zone C. Now I have an attribute called the Zonenart. Now I track a new zone. And instead of the attribute "Zonenart" write something purely by hand, I want to be able to select it directly.

Thank you very much

@Mapperz I wouldn't close it just yet. Creating a custom form isn't really needed just for a drop down list. – Nathan W Jul 19 '12 at 13:09
