A lot of times you need to classify data using choose fields. Sometimes you have to select these from a provided list and sometimes you would like to enter the values on the fly. In my latest post I talked about how to simplify this approach using a centralized source and a decentralized variation:

• The centralized data source has a backing dictionary which is used to store and manage the data.
• The decentralized data source has no backing dictionary. You can simply select a value from already existing ones or add a new one ‘My tag’. Afterwards, you can select ‘My tag’ in other workflow instances. If it has been removed from all workflows, ‘My tag’ will no longer selectable be selectable.

The decentralized variation uses only standard features of WEBCON BPS. The other one needs some JavaScript to hijack the standard "Add new" button of the autocomplete and popup search modes.
