Allow Search Dialogs to be configured for select list only
We currently have an implementation with an external multi-column select list and we have implemented this in several store and search dialogs and we have setup filtering on the columns of the select list in these dialogs. In Store dialogs we have " The user can only use entries from the select list to set the field" option to force users to perform data entry / indexing only using the filtered select list values. However this option does not exist on the search dialogs so even with the filtering in the dialog configuration a user is provided values in the drop downs that comply with the filter as configured. HOWEVER users can ignore the drop down and just free type any value they want and if there is a matching value in DocuWare the search returns a result. We strongly believe that data consistency for search is just as important for store and we believe that the same option " The user can only use entries from the select list to set the field" that exists in Store dialogs should also be made available in Search Dialogs.
As it sits now I have to design an Index Value Profile using SQL statements to try and enforce data consistency in Search to match what we already have in the Store Dialog configuration.

Yea for us we have a document type field that we want to lock down to a select list only when searching. We want 2 search dialogs for one cabinet where one dialog is locked down to select list of doc types and use the other search dialog locked down to a different select list that includes different doc types.
